Here's the latest news from Deborah Fisher, who is organizing Bed Stuy Meadow, a seed sowing day on April 11th. If you are interested in volunteering, you can get in touch with Deborah (see below).
The April 11th Seed Sowing Day is shaping up nicely, the forecast looks (knock wood) like a mix of sun and clouds,
and I have hundreds of pounds of sand, compost, kitty litter and
wildflower seed to divvy up into re-usable shopping bags with the
snazzy Bed Stuy Meadow logo for volunteers.
I'm an optimist. I ordered 250 bags and would love to see every
single one of them go to a volunteer! There's about a week and a half
left, so this is achievable! If you haven't yet RSVP'ed, please do so
when you can! If you haven't forwarded an email, pasted a link to the
project description on your Facebook page, written a pithy blog post or
otherwise spread the word, this is an enormous help! If you have
non-meadow-related ideas about making a large-scale positive difference
in your environment, write me an email!
Thanks so much for your time and interest–this is going to be great fun!
All best,
Deborah Fisher
