Hi everybody,<div><br></div><div>A few updates:</div><div><br></div><div>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).<br>
<br></div><div>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)</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Alicia</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 12:45 PM, J. Rochon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jrochon@uwaterloo.ca">jrochon@uwaterloo.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

You can drop posters off with me at the CampusTechshop. I'll use ask MathSoc and the TK desk for poster runs, and put up a few myself. As for plant care, I have approx two square feet of well-lit space, that I water regularly, no guarantees against feline predation. I can also toss in more seeds, but I honestly don't believe that we'll bigger numbers, just a little more variety.<div class="im">

Things that really should be taken care of:<br>
Making and Distributing posters - Alicia - I will leave some at the office if others on campus would like to swing by and pick some up to distribute to their respective corners of campus.<br>
<br>
Where to put seeds after planting? - Some to Candace, any others? do we have enough other people who can take them to their homes? or, Can we put them on campus, potentially in WPIRG office, or in greenhouses on campus? anybody have any leads?<br>
<br>
buying planting soil - who?<br>
<br>
Deciding which seeds to plant - can be done at the planting party, however just wanted to remind people that this was a concern brought up at the last meeting, just randomly planting seeds might not be the best strategy?<br>
<br>
Optional:<br>
Buying party food (we have at least $40 to spend, potentially more with collaboration from Simplicity Circle) - ?<br>
<br>
Excited to see you all at the party :D<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Alicia<br>
<br>
P.S. post-planting party considerations (i.e. for another day) might be:<br>
to finalize the budget (so that we can get approval from WPIRG and start spending the money!)<br>
fencing?<br>
turning the soil?<br>
weed/pest control?<br>
