The lovely Jennifer came by this week to get a soil sample, and to pow-wow the design for our mandala garden and we are very excited. It's going to come together in about 4 phases.
1. define the circle and pathways2. build the center/trellis stucture3. mulch in pathways4. plant!We will begin next weekend, Sunday morning, October 4th, with phases 1 and 2. If any families can come out to volunteer, we will be most grateful! I will have hot coffee, drinks, and morning snacks available.We are also trying to be creative with materials to reuse, and are on the lookout for "urbanite" (aka broken concrete), or an affordable border material. This way, we can focus our gardening budget toward good quality seeds and plants. If anybody frequents craigstlist or freecycle, we could use some eagle eyes. =)
There's been chatter about another amazing opportunity that we've been presented with, and here it is! It is my honor and pleasure to welcome Jennifer to our community! Jennifer recently received her Permaculture Design Certification and is a mentor volunteer with the Sustainable Food Center of Austin. She has a passion for gardening and sharing her skills with children. She will be teaching a Junior Master Gardener class for the EcoSchool this fall, and before she moved back to Austin this summer, established a permaculture garden (via business donations) with the special needs children she taught at a local public school in Tuscon. Jennifer will be helping design our Mandala garden (how amazing is that???) and will be coming to Terra Luz to work with our children! Feel free to visit her blog and hop on over to her flickr, to see more of her endeavors.Please help me welcome her.::
Volunteer Opportunity -- We are going to have fun with this, get a group of parents together, collaborate on a design, and make this a community project. Any takers for this Sunday morning? :)*We will, more than likely, have another opportunity for garden volunteering next weekend too. Will keep you posted.
