progress at UA9

The garden looks awesome! It was great to see everyone come out today. One more meeting's worth of work and this garden will be done! We're thinking about adding a pathway of crushed colored glass, and some more color and shrubs- feel free to comment and add your suggestions.
We'll keep you posted on vegetable gardening opportunities for the near future....

landscaping job

Hi everyone,

A committee member is interested in doing small-scale landscaping projects around Austin as a side-job and is looking for help. If interested, email gardening@utenvironment.org and I'll pass the inquiry along.

Hi everyone,

Money didn't come through on time this week- next week, definitely, we'll be planting. This week we'll be heading over to the farmer's market at the Triangle.

-for those who need rides, we'll be meeting at the Barbara Jordan statue at 24th and Whitis at 5:15 PM

-for [drivers or bikers or walkers or bus riders] this means we'll probably be at the farmer's market around 5:30

If you need a ride, or are willing to give rides, please email gardening@utenvironment.org

Also, for those of you who can't wait until Fall 2010 to start vegetable gardening, we have the opportunity to grow on land a couple miles from UT in the meantime. If you're interested let us know!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

native plant garden

Hey!

For those of you who roughed the cold and came out today, first of all : awesome, but second, I must prove to you the success of our native plant garden behind CS5 despite its current, weathered state.

These pictures were taken August 2009, after a HOT summer:

Given that these are all native plants, they may now look dry and generally dead, but most of them will come back come spring.

meeting wednesday 5 PM

Hi everyone!

We'll be meeting tomorrow to tour several of our gardens and plan for their future expansion. We'll be planting starting next week.
