Sabin Gardens needs to have cedar chips spread around the pathways and on the outside of the berm. This will suppress weeds, maintain moisture for raised beds, and keep the garden with a beautiful and maintained appearance. More chips are being ordered this week. Now all we need are volunteers to spend a few hours spreading these chips! Extra wheelbarrows will be helpful.

Interested volunteers can send me an email with availability to madelyn@pdx.edu. The PTA spruce-up day on August 23rd could be a good time to work on this. Let me know if you can help on the 23rd. Another time can be coordinated if needed, also.

Sabin PTA/SOLV Spruce-Up Day: August 23rd 9am-noon (& beyond) — Come help clean-up and freshen up Sabin School, inside and out. The Sabin PTA & SOLV team up to get the school grounds in tip-top shape in time for our returning students in September. E-mail the Sabin PTA at sabinpta@comcast.net for more details or to sign-up to pitch in. We are in need of volunteers with construction skills as we will be installing four new benches and two new garbage containers on the Spruce-Up Day.

On May 3, 2008 dozens of parents, teachers, staff and neighbors had a great time creating the Sabin Edible Garden in the North playground of the school yard.  They laid the groundwork for what promises to be a valuable educational opportunity for students at Sabin, summer SUN School and ACCESS Academy.  What started as a flat expanse of grass became by the end of the day a star-shaped array of raised planting beds and barrels.   Fresh lettuce starts went in, as well as fruit trees and berry bushes.

At the same time, in the South playground area, the Sabin Community Native Garden received a fresh infusion of approximately 300 native plants and had pathways redifined with fresh bark chips.
