Not enough people in Omaha are aware of World Environment Day (the international counterpart to Earth Day), and it would be great if the DCG could plan an event (or more) to take part in the celebration. Here is a brief blurb about the event with contact information.

If anyone has any ideas of what we can do, either send them along or show up to the garden on Tuesday night and we can discuss them in person. June 5th is a Friday, we could have a pot-luck style picnic at the garden (on our new picnic tables). We could also more widely publicize our work night on June 2nd to get community members involved with the project. Let me know how you feel about these ideas,

Feel free to contact me directly if you want to chat, I've got lots of free time to discuss ideas with everyone.
