Objective statement
USE LESS WATER ON OUR GARDENS
by composting and mulching with three carloads of mulch and at least 12
volunteers for work on the Fairlawn gardens every year in early May by spreading compost first, then 2 inches of mulch. Then encourage
individuals or groups in the church to “adopt a garden” for maintenance of the
gardens on an ongoing basis.

The Gardening Action Team will once again be sponsoring a garden
event this spring, first week of May, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm called "Earth Angels
Spruce up the Fairlawn Gardens". For the last several years a huge team of volunteers showed up for fun,
fellowship, treats and a little effort to beautify the Fairlawn gardens and
cover the gardens with wood chips. Be sure to be part of the action again this
year!

Composters
The team scrounged many additional SoilSaver composters, now located
beside the church with the others. One was lined with a garbage bag to contain
dandelions which will be put out with yard waste since they should not be
composted.
Adopt a garden
The Gardening Action Team has set up an "adopt a garden" scheme, and
all sections of the gardens have a sponsor now. If you'd like to help them out
with the gardens, please contact us.
Adopt a lawn plot
An approach of adopting a plot of lawn has begun to address those dandelions!
Peter Heinz will do the lawn under the new window from the garden to the walk.
Contact us to volunteer for another portion
of the lawn. Why not get your own little group together , pick a piece of lawn,
and make a fun event of it on a regular basis!
Outings
Fairlawn Green Action organizes group outings such as Earth Day cleanup
and tree planting, Earth Hour walk under the stars and candlelit party, Earth
Week worship service. See
the Green Events page for details of upcoming events.
