Volunteers Needed for the Community Garden at Yuki
Trails Human Services! The Community garden – Diabetic Garden is without funding this year, which means there is no hired garden staff to take care of the day to day planting, weeding, watering and harvest and distribution. Agreeing that this is a valuable project and resource to the community, Yuki Trails staff and volunteers are creating a new vision to keep a smaller version of the garden going while we search for other funding sources. Right
now the large north back field is planted in a cover crop which will be plowed
under in the next week or two. Some
volunteers have already donated seeds and starts and more are being planted
daily.
The
smaller east garden TLC garden area is ready for planting and there are 4 beds
available there for community members who would like to make a commitment for
their own bed. If there is interest, more individual beds may be opened up in
the north garden area.
We will be having a planning meeting
on Friday at 3 PM, starting in the YTHS Community room and wandering out to the
gardens as well. If you cannot make the meeting but are still interested in
taking some part – large or small – please contact Deb in the Yuki Trails front
office at 983-6648.
Any
supplies, tools, time and energy are welcome. A packet of lettuce seeds or a
truck load of manure, a summer’s commitment or an occasional hour or two…it is
all useful and welcome!
Yuki Trails Human Services is the behavioral
health branch of the Round Valley Indian Health Center, located at 23000
