> Hey folks,
>
> Gardens 4 Humanity will be getting together at 4:30 pm TODAY,
> Tuesday, Aug 24 at Southside Community Center (SSCC) 305 S. Plain St.
> to begin preparing the gardens there and at the St. James AME Zion
> Church just down the block for the fall and for the upcoming
> afterschool programs at SSCC.  Extra tools such as wheelbarrels would
> be helpful if anyone could bring one.  Gloves will be provided.
>
> This is an opportunity for those looking to be involved in the
> community to engage in an ongoing project and to meet some of those
> who have been instumental in garden activism and advocacy in Ithaca
> over the last few years.  The gardens at SSCC were started through a
> joint effort between Elan Shapiro of Sustainable Tompkins, CCE and Dan
> Flerladge of LACS in 2008.  Beginning in spring 2009, Gardens 4
> Humanity began to play a role at the center through multiple avenues.
> An initial community work party was held to create new garden beds and
> replant perennials to beatify SSCC entrance way.  G4H has been working
> with the Southside Afterschool and Summer Camp Programs to provide
> gardening education, healthy snacks and fun exercise.  The 5 sections
> of gardens serve both programs and feature herbs, veggies, fruits and
> a native butterfly garden.
>
> Don't forget about our Community & School Garden Training Series

>
> AND, make sure you sign up for the Gardens 4 Humanity Google group  
> to stay
> up to date: http://groups.google.com/group/g4h_volunteers

> Thanks and see you there,
