Update #2: open garden on Saturday

Posted on October 21, 2009

Dear supporters,
Thanks to your fantastic generosity and hard work in publicizing our efforts, we are more than halfway there! I think we've gotten some momentum going, so we are optimistic about making it all the way to the finish line and beyond by Oct. 30th. Every little bit helps - we are happy to see that some other kickstarter users (not from Philadelphia!) have started supporting us, perhaps because we are now "popular this week" and are being featured on the "discover projects" part of this website. Help keep us popular by encouraging your friends and contacts to become supporters, even if they only contribute $5 or even less.
Word on the street is that we are working on a video, which should be up soon, so you can look forward to that.
Also, if you are curious about the garden or want to take your kids or pets for a walk this weekend, feel free to drop by on Saturday morning. We are taking part in University City District's block clean-up efforts and cleaning up the garden this Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 am - 11:30 am. (Thank you to Pam Wells for signing us up!) The garden will be open and free for community use, including the grill and picnic tables, so come on by! We're at 326 N. Sloan St., between 39th & 40th, just north of Powelton Ave.

Have a great rest of the week and thanks again for pushing us past 50%!
Best regards,
Julia & the gardeners
