NEWS FROM GOMPS

Work party Saturday, February 9th CANCELLED

2/8/2019

 
Hello Garry oak growers,

I am sad to say that our first Saturday work party of the new year has to be cancelled to due unfavorable weather. The Saturday, February 9th 1pm to 4pm work party will therefore be rescheduled. Our resident forestry expert has warned us against re-potting our oaks during this freezing weather, so we will abide by his recommendations. We don't yet have a date set to recommence the work parties, but I will keep you informed!

I look forward to seeing you at the Nursery again soon!

Please email the volunteer coordinator at jenny.gomps@gmail.com for more information.

Work party Saturday, February 9th

2/5/2019

 
Hello volunteers,

This is a reminder of our upcoming work party this Saturday, February 9th from 1pm to 4pm. I will finally be back out getting my hands dirty on the Saturday. I hope to see you there!

Last Sunday we had brave volunteers out in the cold to pot up our sweet little 4" Garry oaks into roomier 1-gallon pots. Thank you for your hard work and chilly fingers - we have purchased lined gloves for the upcoming work parties to keep our hands nice and toasty!

We are still in the process of replacing our shelter, but we have plans for something new and improved. Stay tuned to fine out more..

As a reminder, there is a proper toilet (porta-potty type) on the premises.  Gloves, tools & refreshments are provided. Weather appropriate clothing & good work boots are recommended.

Please email the volunteer coordinator at jenny.gomps@gmail.com for more information.
