As a year of renovation comes to a close, we’re ready to expand our open areas and invite you to visit.
A huge pile of wood chips donated by Appleseed Tree Service was spread in the lower garden by hard working volunteers. Picnic tables invite you to picnic.
And, most importantly, the rope swing is back after a year-long hiatus.
Some neighborhood kids have already tested it and it’s better than ever. The rope is new. The swing is new. It’s anchored by the same old — strong – pecan tree.
A new sign welcomes you with whimsy. Come check it out.
There’s more.
To celebrate our new nonprofit status and the restoration of the garden we’re throwing a party so save the date!
On June 20, the Mulberry Fields Roots Revival will rock and roll the garden with food and drink, music and children’s activities.
Of course, the location will be our beautiful garden at 1301 Iverson Avenue
NE., down a narrow alley that leads to this hidden gem tucked behind several
houses.
The time is 4-8 p.m., and admission will be free.
As we celebrate the winter solstice, we will mark the summer solstice with the
Chikabilly Fire Sculpture lighting up the night.
We invite neighborhood businesses to step in as sponsors, and we will be
looking for hosts and volunteers to help pull off what will be a wonderful event.
This is your neighborhood garden, and we hope neighbors will answer the call
for volunteers.
And yes, we will be calling!
Mulberry is truly an urban oasis. The goats — Sassy Fiona, Cleo and Cybelle – and all 11 chickens say: “Mulberry Fields is Rooted in Community, Ready to Grow.”
Baaaaaaaaa
