SPECIAL THANKS! to Texas DPS Credit Union, Hoover’s Cooking, Clif Bar and Houndstooth Coffee for sponsoring our refreshments!

This Saturday we’re adding four new farms to the Crestview/Brentwood neighborhood farm and teaching about deep mulch gardening. We need help!

The fall vegetable season is here, so come learn what you can plant, 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, KP Project and friends from throughout Austin.

Come help us Grow UP!

Saturday, August 21, 2010 RSVP on Facebook!
8:00am – Noonish (Then we party with potatoes! The BBQ will be going.)

== Important Notes for All 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.
* A packed lunch/snack will hit the spot and keep you going.
