Save the date...

The Fairfield Food Forest is ready for some love. We'll send out reminders for each work party but if you like to book things into your calendar, here you go!
*Saturday February 13th "The Big Mulch"*
9-12pm
This is a party to move what we hope will be a mountain of mulch. High protein snacks will be provided! Please bring water & gloves if you have them (we'll have extra pairs).
*Saturday March 12th "Pathways & Pollinators"*
9-12pm
This party will be a continuation of the mulching session, with a focus on delineating pathways along the garden. We can disuse adding more plants to attract pollinators & make a wish list for the "planting party" to come. Please bring water & gloves if you have them (we'll have a few extra pairs). Snacks will be provided.
*Saturday April 23th "Plants & Animals"*
9-12pm
This work party will focus on getting the remaining plants planted, the existing plants fed, as well as adding a few annual understory plantings that come our way. We'll also install a few cages to keep our animal friends away from our tender plantings. Please bring water & gloves if you have them (we'll have a few extra pairs). Snacks will be provided.
Thank you for your ongoing interest & support in the garden!
