James W. Rouse day of service this Saturday

This coming Saturday, Oct. 29, from 9 am-4 pm, the 9th Annual James W. Rouse Community Service Day is coming to Sowebo, and one of the projects will be taking place right here at the Boyd Street garden.

This event will bring not only volunteers from outside the community, but also tools and resources to get a bunch of things done. These are some of the things on the agenda: cleanup/winterization, landscaping, installation of rain barrels, building raised beds and pavement removal for creation of new beds.

This is an exciting opportunity for our community, and if you read this, please come out and help. It would be great to have folks from the neighborhood, not just from elsewhere, pitching in and improving one of our shared treasures. All you have to do is show up, and someone will hand you a shovel, a pair of gloves, or a rake.
