Don't you just love this time of year? Weather forecast for a foot of snow get next to nothing, weather forecast for nothing get 4 inches of snow then it will be close to 70!
With the latter part, the weather is suppose to be nice for the rest of the week and Saturday. So we will be in the garden this Saturday from 11-1. We have a bunch of things to do to get ready for the season. So come on out and enjoy the sunshine on Saturday! Bonus with this offer, you will get a healthy dose of vitamin D absolutely free!
With Daylight Savings in effect you are well aware that there is still plenty of daylight after 5. Brian and Nate are trying to put together a weekday evening to meet at the garden to do some small task. If you are interested, please contact Chuck@MulberryCommunityGardens.org with what day is good for you and I will forward it on to Brian.
BASEcamp visits
Four BASEcamp visits have been scheduled so far for this summer. The dates are as follows:
June 20 1:30-3:30 2nd Grade
July 22 1:30-3:30 3rd Grade
August 5 1:30-3:30 4th Grade
August 8 1:30-3:30 2nd Grade
These are always fun times in the garden. It's great to see those little hands so excited to get dirty! I'll share one of Lorraine's favorite antidotes. Lorraine was showing the kids the worms in the refrigerator, when it was here, and there was a little girl wearing t tutu bottom asking her questions about the worms. The next thing she saw was the girl head deep into the worms and nothing but a tutu sticking out of the opening.
We can really use your help during these times. If you can help in anyway, please contact Becca@MulburryCommunityGardens.org
For those of you who are not familiar with BASEcamp and our connection with this group here is some info. BASE stands for Before and After School Enrichment. This program is a nonprofit organization that works with school kids from the 1st - 8th grades year around before and after school through the Poudre School District. During the summer they have an all day program at one of the schools here in Ft Collins. During the summer MCG installs 8 portable garden beds at the school and we visit them 2 times a week from May to August. We work with the kids teaching them about gardening, environment, and nutrition. Also the kids come to our garden to see how we grow on a little larger scale and with a bit more variety. Typically their favorite part is the goats and chickens!
Again, if you can help in ANYWAY it would be greatly appreciated.
