Gardening Help Needed

Two "Random Acts of Green" are happening on the island in the next week and gardeners are needed. You don't have to have any experience, just a willingness to help enhance our island.

1) Dune Re-vegetation Project - Alita Bagley, Beach and Dune Task Force, is working with UT-B to re-vegetate our dunes and needs help THIS FRIDAY (Nov 9) between 2:00-6:00pm. Meet on the beach at Padre Grand. The following is an email SPI Gardens received from Alita:
"We are planning another work day on Friday and sure could use some help. Do you suppose any of your SPI Gardens volunteers or anyone else you know might be willing to help. I believe the students are coming in the afternoon around 2p.m. and will probably work for 3 – 4 hours. We are also looking for an additional pick-up or two to use to haul vegetation to the greenhouse in Brownsville . We had two pickups on Saturday and once they were full we had to stop."
Call Alita at the Chamber of Commerce (956)761-4412 if you have questions.

2) SPI Corner Project Work Day - the Chamber Enhancement Committee is spearheading the greening of twelve corners along Padre Blvd. this Saturday November 10, 2007 and needs help.
Meeting Location – Zeste Gourmet
Time: 8:30 a.m.
