Garden Work Days
Here is our work schedule for the weekend:
Friday 5/11 3:30 to 7pm: sod cutting and tilling, and moving compost.
Saturday 5/12 9am to 2pm: tilling and moving compost.
If you want to volunteer on one of our first big work days, please let us know when you will be able to help; and if you have a friend who would like to volunteer some time, invite them too!
We will be using a Toro Dingo and a sod cutter; kids will not be allowed to run the machines, and this is probably not a good work day for little kids to participate in. Please bring a wheel barrow if you have one, and wear work gloves, closed toe shoes and sunscreen (yes! Sunscreen, not rain gear!)
For more information or to RSVP contact Sarah Smith: 503-653-0015 (office) or 503-313-0638 (cell)

Garden Kick-Off Meeting
It appears that we have crossed all of our permitting hurdles, now we are just waiting for weather dry enough to till and the installation of the water meter before we can start really building. We have over half of our plots reserved; if you want plot, act now.
On Saturday April 21st at 10am we will have a Kick-off meeting with introductions, and a Question and Answer session at the garden site. I will share my tips for planning the start of your new garden. IF the weather has cooperated and the site has been tilled, we will have a mini work day after the kick-off, to measure and mark the paths and water lines. The kick-off will happen rain or shine. If you have any neighbors who would be interested in a plot, invite them to the kick-off! If you drive to the garden Kick-off, please be courteous about parking in front of neighbor homes, don't block driveways in the cul-de-sac.
I'm looking forward to taking some "after" pictures and harvesting veggies with my neighbors!

Calling all helping hands!
Green thumbs not required!
The Hector Campbell Neighborhood is ready to break ground on Milwaukie’s newest community garden at the NE corner of the grounds of Campbell Elementary School (off of Adams Street). The garden will have 28 plots for neighbors to rent and four plots for growing produce to share.
Garden Work Days will be held most Saturdays in April (depending on dry weather!) Check back on this website to confirm dates. If the soil is too wet, we won't be able to work.
NOTE: the list below has been edited (4/4/12), the wet weather has put us off schedule; we will post dates once we have an idea of when the big tiller can get it to do the first tilling. If the weather allows, we will have work days Saturday 4/14 & 4/21, plus a weekday afternoon or two.
Please RSVP to Sarah Smith, 503-653-0015 so we will know how many people we will have helping.
