Juniper Street Community Garden Cleanup Day and Potluck
When: Saturday, April 29, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: On the corner of Juniper Street and San Francisco St. behind the duplex.
What: Come help us pull weeds, pick up trash, organize the tool shed, sift compost, etc. I am hoping that people in our neighborhood (NoHo — North of the Hospital) who don’t have a plot also attend. Juniper Street Garden is a good location for neighborhood get-togethers. Please forward this e-mail to others who live in our neighborhood or who just like community gardening!
If you have a plot at Juniper Street, this is also a good time to plant cool weather seeds (root vegetables, leafy greens, peas, mint family and carrot family herbs like dill and oregano) if you want to be at the garden in the company of others. Aged manure and compost will be available for adding to your plots.

Edible Landscape Initiative
Edible Landscape Initiative
Help ELI purchase a truck, help transform Flagstaff into a healthier and more beautiful city!
The Edible Landscape Initiative (ELI) is focused on transforming ourcommunities into edible urban ecosystems while enhancing our visual environment. Utilizing locally available resources, we will begin the process of facilitating the revitalization of our local food systems by creating pockets of nourishment and beauty in underserved areas throughout our city.
This summer we will be working on developing three community gardens in Flagstaff, building earthen bread ovens and other natural building projects, solar greenhouses, and much more. We are integrating the aesthetics of public art and culture into food projects to hybridize production with beauty.
The Edible Landscape Initiative needs a truck!
The truck will be owned and operated collectively by the ELI. It will
be used for hauling supplies, transporting youth from garden projects,
holding tools, and also for mobility within the larger Bioregional
Lifeways Network sites of Kykotsmovi, Pinyon, and Hardrock.
