First Day On Site.

Thanks so much to everyone for a great first day. We built 10 beds and even managed to miss the mother's day rainstorm. 

After only one day of work, the forlorn looking construction is beginning to look loved. Planting will commence in 2-3 weeks. 

Between now and then: the construction of a few more raised beds, irrigation, soil delivery, and lots of digging....

Email publicproduceproject@gmail.com if you'd like to be involved. 

Come out and raise some beds!!

Tomorrow - Sunday May 8 - we will be constructing raised beds on site!! Please bring garden/work gloves, good shoes, and your mom (it is mother's day, after all)!! Really, she'll have a good time!


We will be there from 11am - 3pm, so come join us for an hour or two, or the entire time!! 


You'll learn how to construct a basic raised bed - the first step in growing your own food in your own garden!!


See you there. 

This is a Beautiful Community Project!
