Hello Friends of the Gainesville Organic Blueberry Farm,
This Sunday at 10 am Joni Ellis will be hosting a work party to plant fruit trees in a neighborhood near her house and adjacent to the blueberry farm. First we will need to clear the brush and garbage that is there and prepare for the fruit trees. I will bring our hand tools, you bring gloves and drinking water. We will meet on SE 23rd Pl. just off 15th st. This is the next road (semi paved) south from the blueberry farm on the same side of 15th st. The trees will be for anyone to enjoy, especially the neighbors on that road- Thanks Joni for the idea of spreading a little sweetness on down the road.
Maybe we can plant some blueberry suckers there later once the site is ready. Also at 1:30 that same day, the edible plant project will be working at Joni’s house to prepare for the edible plant project to move there. If you think you will come at 1:30, go all the way down that same road and you willl enter Joni and Will’s gate. Please email Michael at ufdionysus@aol.com if you are planning on coming at 1:30.
There is roadwork going on near the Citizen’s Co-op Porter’s Community Garden but we are planning on working there again, maybe starting in March.
Also check out the following events starting tomorrow at the budding community gardens at The Highlands Presbyterian Church on NE 16th ave. Looks like fun!
Thanks!
