Fall Grounds Cleanup & Potluck on Sunday, Oct 26

The earth has spun a full cycle and it's already time again to put our gardens to bed for the winter.

It's always a joy to get together and pitch in the crisp autumn air, but this year we have the added incentive of good food as well as good company.

The grounds committee invites you to join families from TBE, STC, and Blue Ocean for a “savory soups and harvest” themed potluck meal. While you're welcome to bring any type of dish and not only vegetarian, we encourage plant-forwardness. Please read details here and sign up to bring a dish. The potluck is scheduled from 1:00 pm to 2:30.

Then, join the Genesis Grounds volunteers for Spring Clean-up after lunch, from around 2:30 pm to 4 pm.

As usual, please dress appropriately for the weather and bring gardening tools such as trowels, wheelbarrows, rakes, and shovels. We will have some tools on hand, though, so you're also welcome to come as you are for as little of as long as your schedule allows.

We need help in lots of areas. There's something for all levels of skill and gardening experience.
