Organic Garden Work Day - Saturday, Feb. 5th @ 9:00am

SEE will participate in our second organic garden work day of the semester on Saturday, Feb. 5th from 9-11am. If you have been wanting to get involved with the garden, this is the event to attend. Wear clothes and shoes you can get dirty. SEE members planted seeds about a month ago and we are now starting to see sprouts of spinach, lettuce, and carrots in one of our garden beds. We will likely be able to plant another bed this weekend. The garden is on SW 23rd Terrace between Archer and Williston Roads.
