Plots are being prepared at the New Spirit Garden and water is flowing.  We should be breaking ground at two more new gardens this week: St. Gregory and Highland Vista.  St. Gregory is near Craycroft and River and has 33 plots.  This is a school garden and is similar to our Sunrise Garden in that the school will be taking several of the plots to use for classroom activities.  Highland Vista is near 5th St. and Craycroft and is our smallest garden with only 17 plots.   It takes a lot of stuff to set up and keep our gardens running. Next time you are throwing out things or setting them by the curb or see them in your neighborhood or at a yard sale, please think of donating them to CGT. When you are at a yard sale, frequently the sellers will donate the items to you if you explain that they are for the all-volunteer not-for-profit Community Gardens of Tucson. Here are some of the things that we can always use:

Brooms

Machetes

Rain Gauges

Hammers

Long & Short handled pointed and square shovels

Hard rakes

Leaf rakes

Hoes

Buckets

Garbage cans with lids

Railroad ties

Strong scissors (kitchen shears)

Small hand trowels

Wheelbarrows
