Weeding Wednesdays

Over the summer, the dandelions, spikies, and random fuzzy things have taken over parts of our lawn at First Unitarian Church. We need help to remove them in an environmentally friendly way. You don’t have to wait for a dandelion party, just come with your trusty weeding tool, at your convenience, and start weeding.

But if you prefer to weed in the company of others, we will be weeding weekly on Wednesdays (how about that alliteration). We will meet on the lawn in front of the church around 6 pm and weed 'til the sun sets or 'til we drop or 'til we run out of weeds, whichever comes first. If you would like to weed in the company of others (shall we call ourselves - The Dandelion Brigade?), please stop by the Environmental Ministry table on Sunday or send an email with your contact information to green@slcuu.org (or call Joan at 582-7783) and we will remind you by email each week about WEEDING WEDNESDAYS.

Or if your preference is for a solitary weeding experience –deep connection – just you and the dandelions and the cosmos, come by when it works for you … it is marvelously therapeutic. If you come by and weed solo, do send a quick email to green@slcuu.org to let us know.

September Watering Schedule - Updated

Here is the September watering schedule. The plan is to water for 30 min. each morning (unless it has rained over night) and to water in the evenings IF the temperature has gone above 85 degrees or if the soil is dry. Please do go to the garden on your evening(s) to check the soil - it does dry up very quickly.
