Meeting agenda:

Mr. Robert Bowden, director of Leu Gardens will be on hand to talk to us about starting our community garden, writing our business plan, and our presentation to City Council in a few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who joined us on Saturday as we helped with The Methodist Church community garden, for which the harvest is donated to help feed the homeless in Oviedo. We have another volunteer day next Wed., June 9th at 6:30 pm. Come join us we could use all the help we can get. We will be mulching, and fertilizing. There are always weeds to be pulled.

Soon to be posted, are pictures taken on Saturday, of the volunteers hard at work. Thanks again. We really accomplished a lot in 2 hours and had fun doing it.

This is a short video of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Parramore residents at the dedication of the Parramore Community Garden in Orlando, Florida.  I haven’t heard anything about it.  I hope it’s doing well.
