[Garden] Planting Party

[Alicia Mah]

Hey everybody,

That sounds great, except I'm guessing that we won't be wanting to
bring our party food to the Biology greenhouses.

That being said, and since all the simplicity circlers will need to
leave before 7pm, I suggest an agenda that goes something like this:

5:30 Simplicity Circle hosts its' end of term meeting in the office,
with food, and gardeners are invited to partake of the food if they
can make this time.
6:00 People meet up in the WPIRG office
6:10 People head over to the greenhouses, leaving a sign with clear
directions as to how to get to the Biology greenhouses

When planting is done, gardeners can decide to go eat $40 worth of
food if they choose to do so, submitting receipts to WPIRG.
