We’ll be working on the following tasks:

Planting in Permaculture 
Dig out lilies from the largest permaculture island, then plant saffron and native plants in the cleared space.

Sanding Paint Off Picnic Table 
Prepare the picnic tables for staining by sanding off as much of the old paint as possible.

Cutting Pallets for Removal 
Saw wooden pallets into smaller sections so they are easier to donate to Chicago Community Jail Support.

Clearing Invasive Vines 
Remove and dispose of aggressive vines (specifically clematis and morning glory) along the fence line.

Cut Back Unwanted Volunteer Trees
Focus on cutting back trees growing in the fence line.

Emptying the Garden Compost Rings 
Wheel garden compost to the "Wild Hedge" area and cover the plant material with roughly 10" of wood chip to prepare for winter cleanup.
