Gulch Community Gardens Needs Your Help!

Hi Gulchers,

Thank you for the wonderful response to our request for more Gulch Gardeners this year. We have collected enough money to pay for soil and wood for several more beds. Ed Wagner, a local contractor has been kind enough to pick up and deliver soil to us for the last 2 years and will bring us about 3 1/2 yards this Saturday morning.

We'll need some help to get the soil from the parking lot below, up to the garden. In the past we've put the soil in buckets and carried it up the steps to a wheelbarrow. With enough people to help we probably can form an assembly line and get it done tout de suite!

The soil should arrive between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. We welcome any help. We need people to shovel and people to carry. School-aged kids are welcome to help.

If you can bring 5 gallon buckets( smaller ok too), shovels, wheelbarrows or wagons, please do. It is good to have a pair of gloves too.

We must move the soil out of the parking lot as quickly as possible - at least by the end of the week. If you can't make it Saturday but can help on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, e-mail me and let me know times and I will meet you there.

If it is raining hard, we will cover the soil and wait until it is drier. If it is only sprinkling we will go ahead.

I know some people have health limitations and can not lift but perhaps you can stop by and lend a shovel or bucket.

If you live close--by and want to bring a pot of coffee that would be nice.


Thanks again for wanting to be part of the Gulch Garden. Call me at 503-317-0118 with any questions.

Sincerely,

Linda McDowell
