Africa House Garden Work Party

The Intergenerational garden at EPCC isn't the only one IRCO manages. The Africa House  is having a work party to restore and rejuvinate the vegetable garden for next spring. We'll have African music, food, and a chance to meet people from this wonderful community.

When: Friday, November 9th from 10AM until 1PM
Where: 631 NE 102nd Ave
Bring: 
We will provide some food potluck style, any that is brought by volunteers is greatly appreciated.
Any work gloves or gardening tools that you may own.
Wear clothes that can get a little dirty, and make sure you plan for cold and wet weather!

We will primarily be cleaning out and tilling up the raised beds and placing cover crops in the existing soil. Additionally, we have some raspberries to plant in the ground, general garbage to pick up, and we're hoping to put mulch down in between the raised beds to help prevent weeds and make the garden look uniform and beautiful.

If you'd like to take part in the event, let Lori Rooney (lorir@mail.irco.org) or Abby Noon (noon.abby@gmail.com) know via email. The more the merrier, and anyone is welcome to come out.

See you there!
