MULCH PARTY 2K10 with Urban Patchwork
Saturday, August 21 we’re adding FOUR NEW FARMS to the Crestview/Brentwood neighborhood farm, while teaching volunteers about deep mulch gardening. Come out & support COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE in this quintessential Austin neighborhood! We can’t do this without you!
The fall vegetable season is here, so come learn what you can plant at home, too! We invite you to join us spreading mulch, planting potatoes, learning a bit, and sharing the fun with friends and farmers.
Join members of Austin Growers Guild, FOOGs.org, Karpophoreo Project and friends–old & new–from throughout Austin.
BYO water bottle! Wear a hat!

== Important Notes for All Urban Patchwork Events ==
For all farm activities, here is how you can be prepared:
* Bathroom facilities are limited/unavailable. Please use the restroom before you come.
* It is wise to wear long pants and a light long sleeve shirt.
* Honestly, cover your body from: the sun, the plants, the bugs (i.e. the incessant mosquitoes).
* Always wear a hat.
* Gloves are kind to your hands.
* Sunblock keeps sunburn at bay.
* Water is a must. Bring a bottle of/for water.
* Some snacks will hit the spot and keep you going–BBQ comes after work is done!
