> Hi everyone,
>
> The BJM School Garden (on Court Street next to the GIAC entrance)  
> will be having its first Community Work Day this Saturday, May 7th,  
> from 12-2. BJM's after school program and three first grade classes  
> have been participating in garden classes and starting seeds for the  
> garden this winter and spring. The workday will include a hands-on  
> raised bed-building demonstration from 12-1PM. Come to learn about  
> the school garden project and lend a hand! All are welcome  
> (especially children, supervised by their families)!
>
> There will also be a FREE urban gardening workshop at the school  
> garden immediately before the event from 10-12. Come learn about the  
> challenges of gardening in urban soils and what you can do to ensure  
> a healthy garden! From 10-12AM, we'll discuss common sources of soil  
> contaminants, tips for evaluating soil health, and low-cost  
> management practices for a healthier garden. Come for one session,  
> or stay for both!
>
> Hope to see you there! To sign-up, please contact Kristen at KAL52 at cornell.edu 
> , or 607-351-0554.
