First Garden Day of 2008

About forty people turned out for this season's first Garden Day on Sunday, April 6th.  Chris, the Garden Coordinator, wrote these comments afterwards:

"At this time of year the garden offers few hints of its potential; just scattered daubs of color from the crocuses, hyacinths, narcissi and daffodils that we planted last fall. But these weeks offer a great opportunity to see the bones of the garden and to look at the clean slate on which we'll start planning the changes that will take effect in 2008.

"Our first garden day was a huge success. We signed up loads of enthusiastic new members, got a great start on tackling the early-sprouting weeds and organized the composter to begin receiving regular deliveries from the Park Slope Food Co-op."
