You might recognize some of these characters. Many of them joined us late last spring and cut bamboo and helped us get some edging on parts of the garden. This time we had them up at the break of day, 7:00 a.m. It's time to de-solarize the beds for the school year, taking off the plastic that had cooked our soils and held back weed advance all summer.
We started at 7:00 a.m. sharp and before 9:00 a.m, these hard working community members (some of them with a bit of help from the magic tomato juice they sipped occasionally from the tailgate of one Rotarian's truck) helped us create this:
The work was tedious, we moved soil and pulled weeds and added a compost bin, but the hard work paid off and made this garden ready for the Campbell Park elementary students in the weeks ahead.
Volunteers make our organization hum. Repeat volunteers are our favorite! Thank you Rotarians! Your service work really makes a difference in our community!
