Hawk at Sunshine
While at first glance that bird looks like a ceramic predator, perched on a structure to ward off crop raiders, it is much more! A hawk has been sighted hunting at Sunshine Community Gardens.

Looking for Plant-Sitters ...
The lemongrass seedlings are in need of care and attention! Can anyone volunteer to help water herbs for the Spring Plant Sale? Jen is in need of 2 volunteers to help water the herbs. This job entails watering the "start" one day a week until the plant sale.
Jen is also looking for a few more volunteers to help seed trays (last week November/first week December). Please send an email to Jen if you are willing to help out!
Friendly Reminder: Complete Your Hours
As the year winds down, please remember to check the Green Binder to see if you need to complete Sunshine Community Gardens hours. look for volunteer opportunities around Sunshine to complete your hours for the year. There are many projects, from mowing to maintenance, that count towards these hours.
