Community Garden Coordination Meeting on Saturday, January 16

Come join us for discussion and coordination of Bartlett Park Community Garden's Master Plan. We will be addressing topics such as beautification along perimeter and interior of garden, signage needs, types of vegetation, elderly, handicap, children, teaching and learning tools, plot layouts, and maintenance initiatives. In addition, we will review December's irrigation schedule and water measurements.

With the winter season here, we are relocating our coordination meetings indoors. This month's coordination meeting will be held at Twigs and Leaves Nursery, located at 1013 Martin Luther King St S in St Petersburg.

Thank you to all who participated in Dec 12th's Paris Garden install.

We had a great turnout with over 20 volunteers from SEIU. Simplifying the design of this garden, we were able to distribute a workload that was easily manageable for everyone, including our young, little helpers. Our continuous gratitude goes out to Bartlett Park neighborhood for their dedication in creating a more sustainable community.


This Paris Garden was sponsored by the Service Employees International Union.

Thank you SEIU.
