RAHMA EDIBLE FOREST GARDEN CAMPAIGN WEEK THREE UPDATE
FIRST, THANK YOU
First, a thank you to our newest donors who have helped us reach the
20% level of our funding goal, with $375 online and $25 offline
donations. We have 47 days left in our campaign.
Appreciation for financial contributions to Marty Butts, Michael
Burns, Brandan DeBuono, Ursula Rozum, ldepiano, Diane Emerson, Candee
Wadsworth, and Lindsay Speer. Plant donations have been committed by
Pete Wirth, Grindstone Farms, Diane Emerson, and Lynda Hamilton.

DAY OF ACTION ANNOUNCEMENT A.K.A. MARK YOUR CALENDARS
Our first spring Day of Action was briefly mentioned in the campaign
main page, but I want to make sure everyone is fully aware that we
will be coming together on Saturday April 14 from 10 am – 3 pm to get
things done! This means planting, sheet mulching, trail layout, and
perhaps some sign making.
(Who wants to sign up to bring some finger foods for lunch too? Check
out the spread we had back in September with stuffed grape leaves,
hummus, pita bread, apples, and corn bread topped with tomatoes!)
We’ll also be out the next Saturday April 21 as it will be the
Syracuse Grows Resource Drive day and we can likely expect some items
to be provided such as additional mulch, compost, and plants (though
we won’t know the details of what me might be able to access until a
few weeks from now following the Member Garden meeting we will be
attending this Tuesday).
Saturday April 21 will also function as our rain day if April 14
weather is too extreme.
PERKS & PLANTS
April 14th is also the day that you can pick up your perks that your
donation entitles you to. We’ve got a wide range, so take a look if
you are still considering making a contribution.
Plant ordering of trees and shrubs will commence this week so as to
give our suppliers enough notice to provide our order on our date of
choice. This is another good reason we hope you’ll make a donation
soon – as any funds we are able to access early in the campaign will
enable us to most confidently place our orders knowing we will have
the money available to pay for the plant materials. Kind of like a CSA
model for those familiar with this model in which contributors finance
the operation up front – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture#Structure
Have a great week everyone – Frank & the Rahma Forest Garden Team
