[Garden] Planting Party - Please sign up for a task!

[Alicia Mah]

Hi everybody,
A few updates:

We have somebody from Simplicity Circle willing to order the food. Just say
the word and we can empower her to do the party food shopping on behalf of
the Garden as well - simply say 'yay' (or voice your concerns).

There is at least one other person coming to the planting party able to
contribute a personal place to grow the seedlings, although she will need to
be dropped off with them by car. (I'm guessing this might be a common
sentiment, so those of you with cars, probably a good idea to bring them on
April 1 :D)

Jason, the Food Awareness Day would like each group to submit two questions
(the answers should be found by reading the booth material) for a
questionnaire that would make the event more interactive.

Cheers,
Alicia
