Hello Dundee Community Gardeners and Friends,
Harvest Night/ Roof Raising on Tues. July 5, 7 p.m. We're moving our weekly harvest night to Tues. next week due to the Fourth of July holiday. Come help us pick greens, do some weeding, and hammer in the shingles for the rood of our new sign-board. Last week we picked enough greens from our food pantry plot to fill a grocery cart to the top at the Underwood Towers!
Next DCG Board Meeting: Thurs. July 14, 7 p.m. at Dundee Presbyterian Church, dining room. All members welcome!
COMMUNITY EVENTS:
Open House and Solar Etching Party at 49th & Farnam Community Garden, Sunday July 3, 1-2:30 pm
Bring the kids and come out to enjoy some iced tea and cookies and practice solar etching: wood etching with the sun. This is one of the easiest activities you can do for solar energy education. Using a magnifying lens and using sunlight like a wood etching tool, you may create beautiful artwork! Some scrap wood will be available, and our gardeners can decorate wood stakes for their garden plots. Bring along dark glasses, pieces of wood, and magnifying lenses if you have them. Also view demonstrations of solar-powered devices.
Such an event would be great for us solar energy enthusiasts. It'll be awesome if they do it again this year.
