| This how the garden looked at the end of the day on April 9, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. After a full day of work, the shed is practically finished and the rows are ready for planting. |
Throughout the day on Saturday, April 9 about 50 volunteers worked in the Helping Hands Garden from 8:30 til 3:30. The workers consisted of youth from Highlands Presbyterian church, a large group of families with small children from Broadmoor Baptist, several Master Gardeners, MadCAAP clients and others who have a passion for gardening and a love of MadCAAP. The majority of the group did gardening chores; but there was a group of amazing carpenters from Broadmoor who built a shed to house our gardening tools. It was a great day of fellowship, learning and fun! I echo the comment that one of our MadCAAP clients made, " I have really learned some things about gardening today!"
OUr next workday is Saturday, April 16 from 9:00 til NOON or until everything is planted, whichever comes first. Come join the work and learn something along the way!
