Gardening, Greenhouse & Y-Art Sale Oh my! ComcastCares Day

Saturday April 24th, and this year's Comcast Cares Day, was a wonderful day! It was a beautiful day perfect for gardening and planting. Over 30 comcast volunteers, friends and families gathered at Ironworks Studio to help put in a garden at International Central Gospel Church and also help with the construction of the greenhouse in the lot next to Ironworks. Lorraine Gibbons explained her work with Garden State Urban Farms and introduced the Prodigal Sons and Daughter who are working on the Greenhouse Construction. After brief introductions, we all settled in and got dirty! Lettuce, Spinach, collard greens, strawberries etc were planted in EarthBoxes which require limited watering and will have an impressive yield. Can't wait until the vegetables come in! To add to the festive nature of the day, Valley Arts held their Y-Art Sale on Tompkins Street. Various art vendors demonstrated their work and sold their art along Tompkins Street as residents took in the beautiful weather. Many people satisfied their volunteer and have fun with neighbors requirements for the UofO transcripts.
Be on the lookout for more gardening and volunteer opportunities in the coming months!
