Painting Party

Excitement for this upcoming gardening season grows as our list of plot renters fills. Seventeen of the twenty-two 10'x10' plots are signed for, and outside sewing time is still two and a half months away. Plots are normally $10 this year, but there is another opportunity available:

Students for Service Learning RSO is conducting a raffle for one of our plots. Tickets are 2 for $1, or 5 for $2. Purchase them Monday, February 20, or Wednesday, February 22 between 11am - 2pm on the lower level of the UC. Tickets may, also, be purchased from any Campus Grow or Students for Service Learning member. The drawing will be March 30.

The Students for Service Learning been doing other lovely things including a video they're putting together which portrays how life in various student organizations, and Campus Grow will be featured. We will, also, have an article in their newsletter that you can find around campus.

Last Thursday's meeting consisted of the above mentioned points of interest, and then we got a bit painty. We'll be selling violas at Earth Day, and again at the Plant Sale (in conjunction with the greenhouse) later this year, and we spent time this week making each clay pot a wonderful piece of art.

 

Next week's meeting will be another hands on one where we will meet in the greenhouse to transplant violas, and start a few vegetable seeds indoors to watch as they grow. An interesting experiment will come of starting plants so early, and making them wait to be transplanted outside. Let's see what happens. Until then, happy planning!
