just had our first community work day





Thanks to everyone who worked on the lot with us tonight, considerable progress has been made. The site was leveled a bit more, weeds were whacked, rubble was hauled, holes were dug, fence posts were set, peeling paint was chipped, and junky playground toys were cleared. It looks so much better, especially in the play area. Gaby, Lisa's 5 year old daughter, gave it her approval. Josh gave me the idea of starting a blog for the garden, so hopefully I'll be able to flesh this out a bit more and put the CAD drawing and many photos on here. It looks like we'll be having another work day probably next Tuesday, and Rachel will be there this time, yay! Please let us know if it's a bad time because we'll be having more and more sessions in the coming weeks. Again, our sincere gratitude to everyone who helped out, adults and kids alike! You guys are great.

It was exciting to be a part of it!

Thanks for getting a blog set up..

I've added it into the McKean County Section on the Roulette Rebel (www.rouletterebel.com)
so everytime you post, it will be displayed automatically with the news.

Josh let us know about the Bank Street Community Garden on TalkAboutBradford.com! We're excited about this project too. Community gardens grow friendships and memories as well as plants. We'll check back here for updates.
