Sustainable Solano
After worship recently, we had two people from Sustainable Solano present some
ideas in the next steps of our partnership. Some of the topics
covered included: Solano Gardens project, Permiculture, urban
landscaping, using our site for educational workshops, planting
drought resistant trees/plants, renewal/maintenance of our existing
garden, and the possibility of new landscaping in the large grass
areas in front of the Fellowship Hall.
All
of us in attendance are very excited about working alongside them to
make this happen.
So
what is next?
Solano
Gardens is a county funded agency that is a section of Sustainable
Solano. Our partnership with them could include: more food
production, using roof water & swales for irrigation, they can
provide seeds, trees, plants & volunteers for installation,
research, advice, and consultation. We make the design with their
assistance, then they help us make it happen. And get this… It is
free!! What a deal!
A
collaboration contract has been drawn up and will be considered by
the Admin Council. If approved, this project could begin in the
design process as early as April. Should
the Admin Council approve the contract, a committee
should be formed to work directly with Sustainable Solano. If you
are interested in this, please let Allison Mezzera know!
