The time has arrived!
The landscaping around our new facility will take place over the course of the next week in a couple of different phases. On Friday, the contractors will still be working on certain areas immediately adjacent to the front of the addition which means those areas will probably be filled in later this coming week. Hopefully some of their projects (sidewalk in the prayer garden and new black dirt along the gym wall) will be completed on Friday so that even Saturday we might be able to tackle those areas. Even if we get through all of this, there will still be some gardening left to do next week as we will need to mulch!
Friday, October 9 (tomorrow!)
12 noon until... we get accomplished as much as we can!
It is going to be in the low 80's so be prepared for some heat. We will have cold water and Gatorade but you should grab lunch before you get here.
Saturday, October 10
9:30am until 4pm: keep working--if we can't gain access to the prayer garden and gym wall planting beds AND if we get so much accomplished on Friday, there is a slight chance that Saturday's gardening would be canceled. I'm betting we still have work to do but would send out a Friday evening Flocknote if Saturday's work is postponed. If we are working all day, we will provide pizza for whomever is here at noon.
We don't have tools for everyone, so please bring:
Gloves
Shovels (large and hand-sized would be useful)
We don't need everyone to bring, but it would be useful to have several:
wheelbarrows
hoes
rakes
edging devices
Please mark your equipment with your name so things don't go missing in the midst of everything!
Thanks for your willingness to help make our property something beautiful and save a bunch of money by doing it ourselves! God bless!
God bless!
