[Lapg] Garden party/ Barn Raising help needed this Sunday!! And next Friday, Sept. 30th - SEED EXCHANGE! Harvest your seeds this weekend.

[Katrina Zavalney]

Hello Everyone!
If you have not heard about the month garden party/ barn raising events
through the Arroyo and Echo Park Time Bank, here it is, this Sunday! It's
time to get ready for the next Barn Raising. It will take place at
AmiHoward’s home in
*Eagle Rock (1922 Campus Road, LA 90041)* on Sunday, September 25th.


Garden work will begin at 9:00 a.m., followed by a Garden Group meeting and
potluck at 12:00.  The planning meeting and potluck will be approximately 1
- 2 hours depending on input and there is an option to continue helping in
the garden and socializing after the meeting.  There will be great music
playing all day long compliments of Ami's boyfriend Diego (an awesome DJ)
and they welcome anyone who wants to come and play some live music as well.
Some essential logistical details that Ami provided about the Barn Raising
at her place are at the bottom of this email.



The meeting at noon that follows the garden work will be critical for
deciding how the Garden Group is going to continue. We want to figure out:

·         What should the Garden Group do? e.g. barn raisings, facilitating
land share partnerships, ongoing garden help

·         How should the Garden Group organize itself? e.g. a facilitation
committee, google docs



Please contact Laura Henne (laurahenne at gmail.com) and Justin Bilow (
jbilow at gmail.com) with any comments or questions about the Barn Raising and
the meeting.



We hope to see you there!





*Additional logistical details: *



*Gardening needs:*

·         Compost distribution

·         Drip irrigation installation

·         Sowing seeds & planting natives and/or trees



*Bring (if you have):*

·         Gloves

·         Shovels

         Picks

·         Wheelbarrow

·         Food or drink for the potluck



*Directions from Campus Road:*

Ami’s house (1922 Campus Road) is near Occidental College in Eagle Rock.
Once on Campus Road, pay close attention for a sign stating "Road Ends In
250ft."  The house is on a hill and is the last one on the right on that
road, which is still Campus Road. Do not continue driving up the hill
instead.



*Parking:*

Parking is limited right near the house.  Please park in the driveway
without blocking the neighbors from getting out, and avoid the red curbs.
There's plenty of parking a block away attached to Occidental College on
Campus Road before the "Road Ends" sign.


Feel free to forward it to your friends :)

AND... next *Friday, September 30th,* we are having a *SEED EXCHANGE!* so
take the time this weekend to harvest the seeds from the plants that have
done their deed for the year, put the seeds in a bag and label them - then
come to *Club Fais Do Do *next Friday evening (6-8pm) to exchange them. Even
if you do not have seeds to exchange, come and get some - please do leave a
donation if you didn't bring seeds to exchange for the labor and love put
into those plants.

Mark Lakeman and Larry Santoyo will also be sharing their wealth of
knowledge at this event - so lots of things to participate in at our new
permaculture club in LA!! Rock'n!!
