Our Project Board was completed today! Mike Lubarski, a Project Manager at RCS, worked through the afternoon humidity to created this great addition to the garden. Not only is he an amazing carpenter with bits and pieces of recycled lumber; he has the ability to look at a tiny picture that was emailed to him and come up with this prototype. ("Mike, could you build this above our irrigation stand?" - guilty party? - Joni...) Carpentry is an art, and Mike's translation of a tiny emailed photo confirms that.
What ordinary people once made, they buy; and what they once fixed for themselves, they replace entirely or hire an expert to repair, whose expert fix often involves installing a pre-made replacement part. In this garden we make every effort to reuse, re-purpose, recyle and do by hand. From the wooden window blinds that became row markers, our recycled garden shed, to this project board. We will take every opportunity we can, to teach by example, what can be done with materials saved from the landfill.
We will be utilizing this project board to write our To Do List for garden chores. Not only will this help our staff of volunteers, but those volunteers from the community who stop by and want to help out.
SPECIAL THANKS to Mike Lubarski, along with a thank you to Mary and Jim! (more photos below)
