Correction on July/Aug. WELL Newsletter:
In the article about the Redwood Avenue garden, the brief summary of its history was inaccurate. The garden was established by Jason & Kristen Bradford on City property adjacent to their home, but did not initially have approval from the City. Later, the City approved a formal agreement for the garden, but then in Sept. 2009 withdrew that approval and ordered removal of the garden. In May, the City Council reversed that decision, allowing the continuance of the garden to be maintained by community volunteers.
Our 5th annual WELL Farm Tour has been rescheduled to Aug. 14th , and will begin at 9:45 am at Brookside School Farm. Additional local farms with refreshments along the way, and offering lunch for sale in the afternoon at Golden Rule farm.
Here’s an opportunity to see small-scale farms first-hand and to learn from master-gardeners how good food can be grown right here in Willits. Whether you’re already gardening or would like to, you can learn what grows here, when and how to plant, and some of the challenges farmers face. View farms in progress (they’re always in process), and ask your own garden questions.
A $5 to $20 donation is requested for adults, to cover refreshments and to benefit WELL; kids are free. We especially encourage families and youth to attend. Lunch is an extra cost – or bring your own. We recommend bringing some water, shade hat or parasol for the tour.
Info: Madge 459-6675.
