Reminder: Joy Ave. work party tomorrow @ 10 am - Help us look our best for Evening magazine!

[Peter Guttchen]

To NENA members and other interested folks,

 

It's time to get down and dirty to help our great neighborhood look its best for Evening Magazine's visit next Tuesday. 

 

If you're looking for a opportunity to give back to your neighborhood and meet some of great people, tomorrow is your chance.  We're hoping for a good turnout with lots of wheelbarrows, shovels, pitchforks and big smiles at our last Joy Avenue work party of the year slated for tomorrow, Saturday, November 9 from 10 am to 1 pm.  We'll be buttoning up the edible forest garden for the winter and sprucing up the site to prepare for  Evening Magazine's visit next week. The TV show got interested in our awesome neighborhood based on a story in This Old House profiling the 2013 Best Old House Neighborhoods in the West.  

 

At the work party, we'll be planting a few new trees and plants, busting blackberries, and laying down more cardboard and wood chips. Wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and please bring a pitchfork or shovel, work gloves, and a wheelbarrow (if you can) to the work party. If you don't have tools or work gloves, we'll have some available for you to use.  The pathway is located in the 1600 block of Bethel Street about 1.5 blocks north of the SF Bakery. Even if you can only spare an hour, we'd welcome your help!

 

We look forward to seeing you out on the trail and in the garden tomorrow.
