Request: Friday thru Sunday, babysitter needed for keeping and watering the many many seedlings we just got from Muir Ranch. Reply to this email if you can help. Thanks! – Sylvia
Progress:
We had a “Barn Raising” and it was great!
cardboard weed barrier is now covering all dirt everywhere
mulch is now covering almost everywhere.
The new Fuyu Persimmon tree has sprouted leaves!
Lunch during the Barn Raising was delicious
The Really Really Free Market was popular
New acquaintances were made
You can be a part of this. Join us for fun, camaraderie, exercise and learning (gardening and non-gardening activities available!)
WHERE:
Arroyo Food Co-op
494 N. Wilson Avenue, Pasadena
(at the corner of Villa Avenue) (0.8 miles from Lake Ave. Metro station; a few footsteps from ARTS Bus Route 40) (4 sturdy bike racks on site)
WHEN:
Tuesday, April 29, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Thursday May 1, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
This week at the garden: Seedlings and weeding
Plans:
fix the hose bib
build urbanite (broken concrete) path
Take photos
share seedlings with visitors
Pick up trash
water the trees and California Native plants
Sweep up.
cut out Bermuda grass from between sidewalk squares. Block sunlight with tape
Bring food (backyard produce?) and/or drink to share

Move good pieces of urbanite from patio to parking lot
start disposing of bad pieces of urbanite
