Susan Weber and I represented Local Matters in a wonderful day of service in two of our outdoor learning environments, both with our partner, the MRDD Schools (ECLC and ECEFC). We had a variety of people who came to offer their time and support to our gardens. It was a beautiful sunny day for our work. Each school garden has 20 volunteers and created some container gardens, filled with edible treats for the children. The planters had a variety of Rainbow Swiss Chard, Gourmet Lettuce, Edible Flowers and Spinach. We also did some basic garden maintenance. By the end of the day we were all proud of the work and the gardens were left tidy and ready for the children to explore.
The following day, Local Matters also participated in the "Earth Day '09" event at Goodale Park. We had a booth passing out our new bumper stickers and post cards. Our executive director, Michael Jones and his family were there all day talking with people in the community about our work. Many people braved the rain and still came out for the event. Jeni's ice cream generously donated their delicious treats again this year. Thanks to everyone who came to support Local Matters and the Earth!
