Where: Edisto Court Community Garden (Wiley St. between Superior and Wiley)

When: Saturday March 10 12:30-3:30 p.m.

Guide middle-school visitors in a variety of straight-forward tasks (layering newspaper and mulch, taking apart pallets, putting up a sign) at the Edisto Court Community Garden (1950 Wiley Street between Superior and S. Edisto). AmeriCorps City Year Young Heroes Program will be working with us to get the garden ready for Spring planting and learning from their Edisto Court peers (State Fair Winners!) along the way.

We need a few adult volunteers to help the Edisto Court kids to guide their peers on Saturday (call Lori at 254-4743 if you can help). Beforehand we could also use help with collection of some more PALLETS (call Lori at 254-4743) and NEWSPAPERS (call Melanie at 446-2772) or write to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Other (General) Needs

• Seedlings
  Please contact Lori if you would be able to raise some babies from seed to plant in the garden later in the season.
• Compost Collection
  We could use 2-3 more people to regularly collect vegetable scraps from a restaurant or grocery store produce dept. This would require making initial contact and taking proto-compost to one of the garden compost piles (covering with leaves each time) twice a week. Call Lori if you want to do this and pick up buckets with lids.
• Creative Junk Collection
  If you see any hoses (or old trash cans, or anything else with garden potential) about to go to the landfill, please do collect them.
  
• Organizational, Building, and Artistic Skills
  If you can coordinate making a garden sign, simple boardwalk, and/or a compost bin out of pallets and nails, call Lori with a date and time (803-254-4743) or write to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
