Old house/mailbox numbers--If we get enough, we can number all the beds to help locate plots and plants. 
 
Volunteer op
Amanda's Garden cleanup, Saturday 5/31, 10 am-12 noon. This is the memorial garden at the corner of Kenwood and 56th behind Ray Elementary. I'm going. Tasks include weeding, digging, pruning. Come if you can, stay for as long as you can, bring your garden gloves! The roses and peonies make the garden smell wonderful!
