Micah 6 Food Pantry
Being that August and September are low veggie production months, the poundage going to the Micah food pantry has hit a temporary slump. If anyone would like to pick up an extra bag of fruit when grocery shopping and donate it, it will be greatly appreciated. Please leave in fridge in trailer before 9:00 am on Saturdays and mark it "Micah".
Water Station Move
We will be moving the water station in front of the porch closer to the Micah 6 garden. We will be looking to install a children's climber in that area.
Compost Is Coming!
Compost will be delivered next Friday 9/15. Cost will be $1.00 per bucket. Compost should only be used at Sunshine.
Monthly SCG Board Meeting
All SCG Gardeners are welcome to attend the monthly board meeting.
