6th Annual Plant Share - Saturday, May 22
Enjoy Jelene's report, including pics, on the 6th Annual Plant Share:
Here are some photos from the PlantShare. It went really well. We had 11 people participate. You could not have asked for a nicer day either.
One of the great things was that Mary and Abby are master gardeners who volunteer some of their time at Hilltop Gardens and the Director of Hilltop, Greg Speichert, gave GANA a very nice assortment of plants left over from last week's sale. We got a lot of varieties of tomato plants, mint plants (chocolate and sweet), some grasses, and other wonderful plants. We also had other people bring nice plants to share.

GANG 2010 - Workshop #2
Get Growing, GANG: Start The Garden
Sunday, May 15, 1-5 p.m.
Sunday, May 15, 1-5 p.m.
Led by Rhonda Baird and Nathan Harman, this workshop will provide an overview of spring garden tasks. The first half of the workshop will be indoors and the second half, hands on in the garden. Let's see how those raised, heavily mulched, lasagna beds we built last year are coming along and build a few more, too. We will cover starting seeds in flats and direct seeding, transplanting starts, using the cold frame, checking for weeds, damage and problems, as well as soil analysis and amendment. Snacks and beverages provided.
Check out Ann's blog for more pictures and descriptions from the workshop.
The next workshop in the 2010 series is "How's it Going? Problem Solving and Redesign;" held Saturday, June 26.
Workshop space is limited. To pre-register, please contact Ann Kreilkamp 812-334-1987or arkcrone@gmail.com. Suggested donation per class: $5 to $15.

May GANG Meeting and Potluck
Date: Tuesday, May 11
Time: Potluck begins at 6:30pm, with meeting to follow
Location: Ann's house, 134 N Overhill
Topics: Project Updates, Upcoming Events, and anything else neighbors want to discuss
Neighbors Present: Ann, Al & Kathy, Jane, Alfio, Asiri, Mano, and Kacey
Kids! - We were happy to welcome three Green Acres children to our meeting. Kids have been come to meetings from time to time and it is always wonderful to have the participation of neighborhood youth. We hope this is a trend that will continue. Parents - if you have hesitated to come to a meeting because you weren't sure what to do with your kids during that time - please come and bring the family with you!
Noise concern revisited - our noise issue discussed last month continues, although the neighbors close to the home report that some progress is being made. Efforts to have no parking signs installed are paying off, but they are not always being properly enforced. Neighbors report that they have been told by City Parking Enforcement that they are not responsible for patrolling the area for parking violations. Ann was able to track down a potential contact for one of the noisy homes. Jane reminded the neighbors to speak with Tim Mayer, City Council At-Large and Green Acres Neighbor, to see if he has any ideas of what else to try.
GANG - We toured the garden to see the completed work from the SPEA project, as well as the individual efforts of neighbors and the workshop participants - stop by the garden yourself to check out the progress, it is awesome! The second GANG workshop for year 2 is Saturday, May 22.
Blooming Neighborhoods - we still need a few people to sit at the Green Acres table at the event. Jane will call for volunteers via the listserv. The GANG has been nominated for the City Council Neighborhood Enhancement Award and Jane has been nominated for the HAND Neighbor of the Year Award - congrats to both on the nominations. A win in any category earns the neighborhood $100 (which would be great to use towards a Small and Simple Grant).
The June meeting will be Tuesday, June 8 and currently has no where to call home. Jane will call for a volunteer via the listserv.
