Besides the many continuing MG projects, as highlighted in the News from Your Co-Presidents above, there are no particular event highlights for March and April. But we just had word that we need to be moved from the high school greenhouse by March 21st (and into the new greenhouse)! In addition, MG volunteers are very busy preparing for the annual plant sale on May 10th, that will now be held at the new greenhouse. It’s a lot!
All volunteer hands are welcome, especially Tuesdays from 12:00 to 2:00 at the current greenhouse, located at Gold Beach High School. Activities in preparation for the plant sale and the move include organizing, potting, cleaning up weeding and, of course packing and moving. For more information or to let them know you will be joining them, contact Ali Otterloo at alivanotterloo@gmail.com
