[MonashCommunityGarden] Working bee Nov 16

[Seila Hierk]

Hi all

In preparation for the working bee in Nov 16 we need your help.

We need to know who can come to help out the weekend before, Nov 14th or
15th. Also who can help out during the working bee.

How many people have seedlings at home they can bring to the garden and what
type of vegetables?

What garden tools can u also bring? We need forks and shovels to level the
and move soil.

We need an old bath tub for a pond.

Do people have contacts for seconds pea straw and lucerne hay?

I have included a final map of the garden with garden bed dimensions.

Please reply to myself and Tim to these questions. We have only 2 weeks
left, I know most people have exams.

Seila
