(This list is also available to download as a PDF from the bottom of our home page.)

Things we would like to have built:

1.      Ramp into shed

2.      Materials, design, and labor for awning next to shed (part, but not all, of this will be built for an eagle scout project – need materials for whole thing)

3.      Garden benches or chairs  with backs and picnic tables or other tables, in both child and adult sizes (see      http://kaboom.org/build_a_playspace/side_projects/Seating)

4.      Produce rinsing station:  sturdy table with sink (we have a sink) plumbed to attach to hose and to drain into compost

5.      Bulletin board, weather-proof

6.      Racks and bins in shed to organize tools

7.      Large, exterior chalkboard on shed or by fence (see:  http://kaboom.org/build_playspace/side_projects/how_build_chalkboard)

8.      Entry arbor (we will have funding for materials)

9.      Pavilion or gazebo (that can one day be moved if necessary)

10.   Rain gutters and rain barrels to catch rain from shed/awning

11.   Sandbox or small play structure (no treated wood)

12.   Two short wooden fences to hide compost

13.   Garden shed (we have one but could use another)

Note: for these projects, wood in contact with ground can be pressure treated (e.g., bench legs), but wood in contact with people or produce should not be pressure treated (e.g., bench seats).  Our ability to supply materials will vary depending on our finances and the project.

14.   Gardening in community harvest or other communal plots

15.   Landscaping labor

16.   Weeding/ mulching/ path maintenance
