The Hattie Carthan Community Garden is looking for volunteers to prepare the garden for the installation of a community market space. They’ll be digging up knotweed, planting seedlings and spreading wood chips. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a novice, your assistance will be greatly appreciated!
This week they intend to work feverishly from noon to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. If the work is not finished by this weekend, they will need to work in the garden again from noon to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday of next week. If you are interested in volunteering any of these days, then please send an RSVP email Yonnette Fleming at hattiecarthangarden@yahoo.com.
The garden is still accepting donations to help them cover the setup costs for the market, so if you cannot volunteer your time, then you can make a tax deductible donation at The fundraising site is live and waiting for donations at http://www.firstgiving.com/hattiecarthanmarket. Remember to request the tax deductible letter online when you donate!
