Volunteer Coffee

Calling all Gardeners interested in helping to maintain the Robbins Garden-  May 9, 7:30pm coffee 
Dear folks,  As hopefully you have noticed, the WInfield Robbins Memorial Garden – the one at the center of Town located between the Library and Town Hall, is slowly being restored.  The reflecting pool is repaired, the Indian restored and the garden at the side of town hall and the area around the Indian have many new plants.  As we move into Spring, we are planning how these areas as well as the resst of the garden will be maintained this year.
The Garden Club and the Friends of Robbins Town Gardens will be working on alternate Thursdays – weeding, pruning, watering and checking on the overall health of the older and newer plants.  We need volunteers to help us with maintenance this summer.  
To get an idea of how many volunteers we might have who will be willing to help us, we are hosting an evening coffee/tea gathering on May 8 at 7:30  in the Lyons room at Town hall.  At the gathering we’ll be going over the various tasks the two groups will be working on, introducing you to key people who will be helping with this effort – master gardeners and historic gardeners who will be on hand to oversee our work and teach us about garden maintenance.
Volunteer commitments usually run 2-4 hours / week with lots of flexibility from week to week.
We look foward to meeting you.Christine Harris
