next demo day

[Sarah Damron]

Hello Ocean Friendly Gardeners~

 

We had our first demo day last Friday and got things started. Many thanks to Jenny and her young ones for coming out to help, Steve from Sustainable PG for coming out to help, and Vicki Pearse for coming out with moral support. We watered the fruit trees, cleaned up some leaves and tore out a small section of grass. Woohoo! I have attached a couple photos which will be posted to the blog.

 

We really need a team of 3-4 volunteers with metal rakes (Steve from PG (pictured) had a really good one!) to spend a solid day on tearing out grass and I think we will have the major part of demo completed. Is there someone who would be willing to lead a team on Saturday or Sunday this weekend? I can help recruit the team (…and if we get a number of people it should go faster!), but I cannot make a trip down to PG this weekend. I can explain the method to our madness (…it’s very basic) to whomever can lead.

 

Any takers?

 

Thanks!

Sarah

We haven’t had any takers on leads for a demo day this weekend. Other ideas about how or when to do demo days? I know Fridays are good for Jenny.

 

Should we “open source” them so that people can come over and demo at their leisure? We could leave up an instruction sheet to provide guidance. Good idea or bad idea?

 

Thanks!

Sarah

Open source seems good.   Solar people can let people in for tools.

I've not been going to office for a few days (staying in Carmel), so couldn't volunteer to lead for this week.

Unfortunately, this Friday won't be a good day for me, but the "open source" idea sounds great. I'm sure we could even have a sign-in sheet and checklist of things that need to be done and have people check them off and write down notes as to how much they've done, etc. What do you think?

Yeah, I like your ideas. Maybe we could even ask people to send photos via their phones or we could get a disposable camera to keep on site.

Solar has a digital cam on site usually.  It would be fine to use it to snap photos, and we can post from here.  There might be a SR video camera here too.
