Minutes 3/30/06

Here are the minutes from March's meeting.

Mark Your Calenders!

April 8th we will have a workday: 40-50 people will be helping us! No plans were set into stone on what these 40-50 people will be doing. Possibilities include outreach help (passing out fliers), digging/turning beds, removing gravel parking lot, etc. After next Saturday I believe our workdays will move back to weekly Sundays, when weather permits, around 10:00am to whenever.
To Be Determined...
Soon there will be a post directing where to drop off tool donations and/or personal tools you'd like to contribute for use in the garden. Please please please!! label your tools clearly to ensure their safe return. Any lost/stolen/damaged tools will be reimbursed by the garden.
Josh Hayes
Josh spoke to the group about the possibility of using horses to plow our garden. This suggestion was met with enthusiastic responses from the group. He has contacts that may be able to do this soon; more information to be posted by those involved. If you are interested in Josh's work with draft horses, look up Healing Harvest Forest Foundation. This foundation aims to promote sustainable logging.
Guidelines/criteria
Alyssa went over the garden guidelines. The group had no complaints. She also passed around a tentative membership application to allow for suggestions from the group. Finally, membership criteria will be posted on this blog. Please take the time to read over what Alyssa posts and provide comments.

Workdays 4/1, 4/8

Hello Folks!

Sorry I have not gotten the minutes from March's meeting up yet. Just a warning, short notice I know: there will be a workday April 1st (tomorrow). Possibly plowing? Anyone who has talked to John Hayes can maybe post more info about this. Also, mark your calenders for next Saturday, as there will be a work day then as well... I will post the information from the meeting as soon as I get a chance, check back April 1 or 2.

Minutes 2/23

Here are the minutes from tonight's meeting.

Coyote Kitchen Proposal
Coyote Kitchen restaurant is interested in providing a menu composed of mainly local foods. They would like to be in dialogue with us regarding an exchange of garden space and/or labor for money needed to insure garden space (liability insurance). Hopefully during the next meeting or some time in the future we can have an in depth discussion with them about the long and short term potential for their involvement.
Appointing chair, vice-chair, secretary positions
To be discussed when more group members are present
Meeting Dates
Mark Your Calenders! March 30, June 29, August 31, and November 30 are all reserved meeting times (6:00pm). I forget the name of the building, big shock, but these dates are all reserved at the same ASU location the first two meetings were held. Any month that is missing (April, May, etc) we will meet at the garden, weather permitting.
Joe Bigley's Sculptures
I believe all present reacted positively to Joe's ideas about adding some art to the garden space. I don't think I could do justice to any sort of description; perhaps those absent can get the idea next meeting. For future agendas, we discussed the potential to involve more artists as the garden progresses.
