Grow Pittsburgh, who has helped us out a great deal, is hoping to feature the Community Garden at Bandi Schaum Field on the long bike tour route.\u00a0 It&#8217;s one of the middle stops, so riders will probably be there between 11:30am and 1:30pm.\u00a0 They will be in groups of ten, and will stop for 0-15 minutes at each garden.\u00a0 GP expects 75 riders to sign up for the long ride.\u00a0 This will be taking place rain or shine. There are no obligations for your garden to become a stop except to make sure that your water is turned on and available for riders to fill up their water bottles.\u00a0 However, this is a great opportunity to show off your garden, fundraise, and build support for the project.\u00a0 They need gardeners on hand to welcome riders, and\/or give tours, provide free produce samples, sell some item as a fundraiser, offer a hands-on activity, etc.\u00a0 Who is willing to help out?<\/li>\n<li>schedule harvest party<\/li>\n<li>Painting<\/li>\n<li>Solidify the decision making process (i.e. if someone wants to build something or grow something in public areas, how do they get approval?)<\/li>\n<li>Update on bees:\n<ul>\n<li>The Burgh Bees presentation was very informative.\u00a0 Deb gave us a high level list of steps if we want to have bees either in or near the garden:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Have another Burgh Bees volunteer come out and review beehive location.\u00a0 We discussed having it placed behind the garden in the meadow.\u00a0 They would need to review the space to make sure it is appropriate.<\/li>\n<li>Have the city review for zoning etc.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Develop budget.\u00a0 It sounded like it could cost between 300-500 dollars.\u00a0 She did identify that we could get on a &#8220;swarm list&#8221; to assist with the cost.<\/li>\n<li>Present plan to garden membership along with a Burgh Bees volunteer.\u00a0 Question and answer session.<\/li>\n<li>Vote on proposal (garden membership).
