Urban Patchwork Mulch Party 2K10

Save the Date!!!
Urban Patchwork is Growing!

Saturday, August 21, 2010

Come one, come all!!!

The creative, hard-working Urban Patchwork team is prepping four new farms for their neighborhood (Crestview) distributed farm program.  Urban Patchwork is growing more than produce, they’re growing community–and you can help!  Learn all about what UP is doing in Austin by visiting their website, & don’t forget to sign up for their newsletter to stay up to date on season-long projects.

Come on out and share the fun!  Learn all about deep mulch farming and what fall vegetables you can grow successfully, while helping to plant potatoes and spread mulch.  It will be a sweaty, fun time spent with friends and farmers.

With fall planting season upon us, now is the time to soak up all the incredible information Paige, Keith, & Co. have to share–wanna learn about potatoes & the bugs that haunt them?  Steve Martinez, AGG’s resident bug man, will be on hand with IPM tips!  Interested in tending an early-winter garden (yes, ’tis the time to think about early winter crops–hard to believe), or getting a late cucumber and pepper harvest?  We’ll have answers for that, too!

Members of the Austin Growers Guild and FOOGs.org will be in attendance, as will some current Urban Patchwork CSA subscribers–so you can find out about their experience with this innovative, community-focused farm.

Save the date and come help Urban Patchwork grow!

Saturday August 21, 2010 8am

The party begins at 8am just east of 2222 and Burnet in North/Central Austin.  Check back here often–more details will be posted as they become available.

Plan to stick around after the workday–we very well may be screening the movie Fresh, & you can be sure wherever the AGG is, there will be food, too!

Please direct your questions to Keith, Urban Patchwork’s Farm (totally awesome) Manager, by emailing him at MulchParty *at* UrbanPatchwork *dot* org
