In her "My Turn" opinion piece published in the Concord Monitor on March 30th, Cheryl Bourassa describes some of the history behind the Concord UU Pantry Garden, and invites other religious institutions to "Uproot Your Lawn to Help Feed the Hungry."
Cheryl reports that a load of compost has been ordered for delivery next week.
Cheryl also is planning ahead for summer weedin' and eatin' parties...keep reading for more info.
Garden Parties
Weeding and Eating: What could be more fun?
As the gardening season gets into gear once again, your gardening group has a fresh idea on keeping the garden free of those pesky weeds. We plan to host weeding parties every three weeks through the early summer, and then less frequently as the summer moves on.
So, you've never been to a party with a weeding theme? Are you wondering just how much fun a weeding party might be? We are planning on fantastic fun. Come over to the church sometime around 5:00 and we'll weed or an hour or so. If you are a novice weeder who has always wanted to be a bit more secure in your weeding style, we'll pair you up with one us big time weeders. After we've made decent headway, we'll move on to the second stage of the party: eating.
If you want to, bring something for the grill, and bring something to share. Starting around 6:00 we'll wash our hands and get to work eating our pot luck dinner, while we admire our newly well kept garden. It would be a big help if everyone brought their own dinnerware to avoid lots of waste.
Thanks so much for considering a brand new way to have fun.
