We will be working at the food forest on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 10am-12pm. The food forest is located at 4700 Irvine St in Hazelwood. It was 4 adjacent vacant lots owned by the URA and now hosts a diversity of edible and otherwise functional tree, bush and groundcover species.
Please come on down, bring a friend and have some fun working in community! Thank you to all of you who have been down this season. Your help is vital to making this a productive and useful space.
There is so much to do and so much that can be done! This week, Saturday June 4th from 10am-12pm, we will be:
Weeding (but of course, gotta keep the knotweed down!)
Mulching- we have a huge pile of wood chips to spread out on the front path
Making sun tea! As long as the sun is shining. We have spearmint on site that is just waiting to become tea.
Pondering the plant landscape and changes that have taken place since last year. Not only the changes that we have instigated but also how the plant community itself has responded to our work.
In other news, the food forest is open to hosting projects. We have some specific areas that we would like to partner with interested people on, including soil and plant testing, soil remediation, understory design work, front entrance design work, and more! Please contact Michelle at mczolba@yahoo.com if you would like to speak further about the opportunities.
Hope to see you at the food forest on Saturday at 10am!
