Culver Garden Group Meets this Weekend

The Culver Garden organizers are meeting up at 10 AM on Sunday the 5th. If you're interested in getting involved, show up to the Long Sing Bakery on 9th Avenue between 39th and 40th Streets.

What they are especially looking for are people who can talk to and connect with community groups, local schools, local politicians, and other area organizations.

If you haven't yet felt spring in the air, attending this meeting might help you get there. They expect to be at the bakery for at least an hour.

Culver Garden Group Wants You (to do some homework)

The possibility of a garden near the 9th Avenue train station is beginning to take a pretty definite shape. However, what often happens with well-meaning projects, a small group of dedicated people (who have everyday lives to lead on top of the project) are doing a mountain of work.

Want to lend a hand? From the group posting, here are some of the tasks that need attention:

* location/historical research
-go to transit museum, topographic map office of the borough
president, ask at the MTA station, etc...

*contact other garden groups
NYC restoration project
Green Guerillas
and anyone in the community that we think would be useful to write a letter of support

If you're interesting in finding out more, clarifying the tasks, joining the group, or volunteering your time, enthusiasm, and expertise, go to the Yahoo group side for Culver Garden.
