Friday, March 8th

Hello and happy Friday! 

The first week of March has been an exciting one, with spring planning well underway in all aspects of the garden. We’ve been planting (and getting snowed on), mulching, pruning, and planning lots!​

On Monday afternoon we participated in a teach-in with the other UVSS advocacy & affiliate groups called Where Is Your Money Going? where we talked about how advo & affiliate groups use student fees for all the programs and services we offer! It was great to have the opportunity to share the work we do in the garden with everyone - if you missed the teach-in and are curious how the ccg uses fees, feel free to reach out to us on Instagram or by email! We’re always excited to answer questions and tell you about our work :)

On Wednesday night we hosted our biweekly board meeting, where got together with our board members to give updates on events completed and those being planned, discuss projects being worked on, chat about ideas for garden planning and project planning, and have a lovely time with our garden board community! We do have a couple of available spots on our board, so if you’re interested in learning more let us know!
​

​We had another busy Friday, with a couple of events going on. First up was part 2 of our two-part How To Garden workshop! Hosted by our wonderful Garden Coordinator Lyndsay and Site Officer Jack, this workshop focused on providing all the basics to getting started with gardening. Don’t worry if you missed this series! You have another chance to catch the full workshop tomorrow, Saturday March 9th, from 10am-1pm!

​We also hosted our usual work party today, overlapping with the end of the workshop. We’ve been spending lots of time with people in the garden on Fridays lately, and it’s such a nice way to end the week<3

​Thanks for another great one!

Happy gardening,
Jessi​
