A great day at the garden. We got lucky and the rain waited. So much work done!!!! thank you sooo much Alcoa volunteers. Your contributions over the years have made such a difference.
YOU ARE INVITED TO OUR OPEN HOUSE AT
THE GARDEN
DATE: Saturday, September 8th
TIME: 10:00am until 2:00 pm
ADDRESS: 5461 Ferndale Rd
The garden is located behind Pioneer Park, next to the baseball fields and in front of the Bergsma House. There is lots of parking available or you can walk down from the Ferndale Public Market Market.
The Ferndale community has supported the Friendship Community Garden and we would like you to know how much we appreciate that support. Please come to the garden, meet the gardeners, have refreshments and enjoy the beautiful space that the garden has become.
The work party was so well attended and the garden work was done in short order! Thanks to all who participated! and to quote Gloria....
“Saturday, despite the cold and rain, 40 students, parents and Alcoa employees were at the garden working. The cover crop in ALL beds has been turned under. Wood chips are in place around the perimeters of the deer fence, inside and outside and the remainder spread over the paths, there are peas planted in the Giving Garden, AND, I don't think you could find even one weed! The garden looks great; we are off to a good start for spring planting. Thank you Guy Occhiogrosso for coming by to let the workers know how much we appreciated their work at the garden.” Gloria J.
