Save the Date: Sprague Garden Opening Sunday, April 13th!


Please, SAVE THE DATE

SPRAGUE COMMUNITY GARDEN DAY
Sunday, April 13th
2-4 pm
BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!

The Sprague Community Garden Opening Day will be Sunday, April 13th. Bring your families and friends, as well as any rakes, shovels, and gloves you have and join us as we wake up the soil, add new beds and expand our raised beds.

Smiles, stories and garden prep work runs from 2-4 pm.

Please add your name to this Google doc to let us know you will be there.

For those new to Sprague, the garden is a lovely asset to our community offering a place for classroom seedlings to grow, an alternate recess for students, an outdoor classroom scenario, a meeting place for parents and families, not to mention the bounty of food it produces that we share amongst the Wellesley Food Pantry, Sprague teachers and Sprague family farmers.

Can’t make it?
No worries, perhaps you have family or friends willing to donate organic compost or organic soil, and or recycled plastic (preferably black plastic for the beds. 50' by 4' made from post-consumer content).

Be on the look out to sign up for future garden time to help maintain the garden during school hours. It’s a nice time to get outside, talk with the Sprague parents while helping the Sprague community.

Sign ups for the Summer Family Farmer of the Week will come closer to June.

**No experience necessary**

See you April 13th!

We are looking for parent volunteers to help weed and harvest (the spinach is ready to be picked and some of the lettuce could be thinned out and eaten). 

In addition, we can mulch around the pathways in the veggie butterfly gardens.
