[Garden] Meet this week Thursday at 6pm: at Garden

Tue Apr 21 18:51:11 EDT 2009

Dear Gardeners,

It seems like this is a poor week to have a planning meeting, since some key
resources of information (namely Greg and Candace) won't be there.

However, since people's interest has been piqued (especially some new
names), I propose that we meet at the Garden this Thursday at 6 for the
purpose of giving the new people a tour, explaining how the garden group
works, showing them things like where to hook up the water hose, and so on.
We can also do some light work such as watering what's already been planted
and some weeding. If there is interest, this would also be a good
opportunity for somebody to make a rough map of the garden to have on hand
for our planning meeting.

Does this sound like a good plan? We could then have a planning meeting
sometime *next* week that hopefully the majority can attend. Instead of
voting by email, here's a handy tool:

Please click the link above that will take you to an availability poll for a
garden planning meeting for next week (don't worry, you don't have to sign
up for anything). I'll take a look at the results and pick a time that seems
to suit the majority of people, and announce the meeting time by Saturday.

Cheers,
Alicia
