Call for volunteers to staff a booth at Green Thumbs gardeners fair!
March 11, 2010 – 10:40 amPlease leave a comment or email alice@alicehohl.com if you can spare a couple hours to staff our awesome new booth at this event. You can bring your own organizations’ materials, too!
Details from member Amy Dutt of Urban Wild Limited:
Expected average of 600-800 visitors, mainly homeowners and avid gardeners.
The space was offered to me because I waived my speaking fees. I would prefer to let LNCI have the space to promote connecting kids with nature, than only to use the space to sell Urban Wild designs.
There will be a table with skirting and 2 chairs set up. There will be ample space to set up a banner behind or else on the skirting.
I’d ask that you or a LNCI volunteer set up the tri-fold, hand out literature, and lead any childrens activities. Could you put the word out there that volunteers are needed at the booth…possibly in 2 hour or half day increments? I can be there from 8am until 3pm, but I will be teaching a class from 9-10:30am.
I can provide some design boards with photos of nature playgrounds and designs. I can also bring props. like stumps to sit on and our butterfly hatching hutch.
Schedule:
8:30am-4:30pm Saturday March 27th
set up either the night before or from 8am on Saturday
Contact me with any questions.
Thanks,
Amy Dutt

Hey Amy- it’s finally spring. I hope your Green Thumb event went well. I’ve been getting things ready at Child’s Play Learning Center,in Pickerington to proceed with the expansion of the outdoor learning environment. Recently ordered from Franklin’s Tree & Fish Sale: 55 gallon rain barrel (great buy) and plant kit for their new rain garden- I’m so excited. Local farmers scheduled to plow and fertilize (donated cow manure) to put in the new garden area-children requested a larger garden to grow sweet corn-so they can donate to homeless shelter and a pumpkin patch for Fall Sell to raise money for next years planting needs. I would love for you to see the program -call me 614-374-9113 Barbara
