[Garden] Fwd: Re: Garden meeting?

[Alicia Mah]

Hey all,

I'd actually like to get the ball rolling on this and have *gasp* more than
one meeting this term. I just feel that if we delay on this too long, things
won't actually get done. There are some things especially (like a budget)
that would likely benefit from having a bit of long-term planning in place?

Let's start with the first meeting of the term on Monday Feb. 23 at 7:00 pm.
Unless there are strong objections?

Tentative agenda:

1. Introductions

All of the following points will need two-ish people to take on the
coordination of:

2. How, where and when to recruit new members

3. Budget: Where to get money for seeds and other purchases

4. What seeds we need to reorder (we should get on this)

5. Do we want to get stuff for a fence?

6. When to hold the planting party (if we are having one).

7. Finding foster parents for the seedlings we grow.

8. Compost  from the city, compost runs from food services

9. Deciding when gardening times will be, having official volunteer greeters
to ensure people feel welcome at the garden

Given that this  looks like a long agenda, I say that we set the priorities
at the first meeting as to what we most urgently need to talk about, and
leave some of the less urgent/important points until the next meeting. If
somebody wants to take on  advertising a social garden meeting for our
second meeting of the term, that would be a great way to bring in new
members.

Just my thoughts, do feel free to add!
