Fargo Garden Work Party Oct. 11-12

• Posted by erim on October 6th, 2008 filed in Depaving Projects, Fargo Garden, Local Breaking News

Since our June 16th depaving event at Fargo Garden, we at DePave have been hard at work planning the next steps in this project! We are currently working on a variety of things to get the site ready for landscaping and planting, including finalizing a site plan, legalizing an easement for stormwater use and management, and getting all our permits in order for the project.

While we work through these procedures, we are still continuing to move forward with the Fargo Garden Project! This is where you all come in!

We are having a work party at the Fargo Garden site on the weekend of October 11th and 12th. The focus of this work party will be to build a 4′ tall, see-through fence, to give vines and espaliered fruit trees something to hold on to, and to protect all the plants from vandalism. We are planning two full days of work and will need a few individuals who would like to dedicate some time to this part of the project! The details are as follows:

Fence Building Work Party
· When: Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12
· Location: Fargo Garden Site, NE Fargo and N. Williams, next door to the Waypost
· Time: 10am – 5pm, both days

We could also use a couple of volunteers to help with things like volunteer sign-in, food set-up, and overall on-the-day-organization of the work parties to help things run smoothly.

Please RSVP to Maren Murphy (DePave Intern) at marenmurphy@gmail.com. Please specify what times you are available to volunteer, and whether you would like to help with fence building or organization. If you can only volunteer for a few hours, it will still be helpful!

Fargo Garden will be a special, living community space, transformed from a vacant parking lot to a lush, green garden. Please help us get closer to making this happen by volunteering your time and energy!
