Come one come all to the Hazel Heights Work Party and Potluck
Date: Sunday, October 25, 2015
Time: 11am to no later than 1:30pm
Place: 4212 Baker NW (Toby & Beckey's, two houses north of p-patch)
Please sign in, catch up a bit with each other over goodies from our potluck feast and figure out who's doing what for the work party, then on to the garden.
All Hazel Heights supporters and neighbors are most welcome, not just plot gardeners, so please help spread the word! This is one of only two "everyone" events each year, requiring attendance from at least one representative of each individual plot (other is spring brunch organizing meeting & work party on first Saturday of every March).

Here's more important event details, please skim through:
* There's always the chance we'll get more rain than shine--finally--but that just emphasizes the importance of getting our P-Patch community garden ready for winter. So please start digging out those rain coats & rubber boots just in case. We'll set up the large umbrella or canopy on cistern plaza if needed.
* For the potluck please bring whatever you'd like, great if has some HH-grown ingredients but not necessary. Coffee and assorted teas provided. (If you find yourself short on time just bring yourself, there's always plenty.)
