Help Build a Fence for the Seward Peace Garden!
Fall Garden Workday
Saturday, October 28th
9 am β 2 pm
Coffee, lunch and tools will be provided.
Calling all parents, students and community members to come for a fun fall
workday in the garden! We are building a 100β fence to finish enclosing the
new Seward Montessori Peace Garden. In addition weβll be weeding and
cleaning up the garden for winter. There will be tasks for all sizes and
skill sets. No experience necessary, but we especially need strong diggers
and sharp spades for digging 14 post holes! You don't have to come for the
whole time - just come when you're able.
The original Seward Peace Garden existed as a community garden for 20 years
until the school's new cafeteria and kitchen took over the space. The new
location is in front of Matthews Park and is a collaboration with Seward
Montessori and Matthews Park. We are currently looking for more community
members to get involved in the garden - helping plan for spring projects
and planting, working with teachers next spring, and helping care for the
garden in the summer. If you would like to get involved please contact
Hillary or join the Seward Garden Group

Things we could use (drop off materials at the garden):
4x4 green treated or cedar posts that are at least 5' long. Let us know if
you have any to donate.
Post hole diggers to borrow on Saturday
Straw bales to mulch the garden
Bags of gravel or cement
Snacks, treats or other food for our hardy volunteers to keep them warm and
fed on Saturday! We have reserved a room in Matthews Park from 9-2 on
Saturday if you want to drop anything off for the garden volunteers.
Thank you!
