Call for volunteers to help with two more plantings:
5 August, Tuesday afternoon
Polytech students are planting the Silverstream bank at the end of Alpine Close where an alleyway joins the Silverstream walkway. The students are due to start at 1pm so I need 4 or 5 helpers to be there at 12 noon. The holes will be marked out and I need 2 or 3 guys to dig out a square of turf at each spot. Merv (or other strong fellow) will use the motorized auger to dig the hole.
Others will help lay out the plants, compost, guards, mats and stakes etc. Those who have to get away early can leave around 1 pm, but it would great if 2 or 3 can stay to help with the planting and tidy up. We should all be away by 3pm.
12 August, Tuesday morning
Amana school has a section near the end of Reid St. Park there and walk down towards Gordon Rd. They are due to start planting at 9.30 or 10 am, so we need to be there by 8.30 or 9 am (exact times to be confirmed).
Routine as above. We should all be away by 12 noon.
If you can help with one or both days can you please text Colin Mackintosh 027 489 7926 ASAP.
