Space Garden Work Day Scheduled for Thursday October 9

Leave a reply
Time:  3pm-7pm
Where:  Legacy Park (Sabovich St. and Airport Blvd. at the Rotary Rocket)
Goals:  Incorporate manure/sawdust into garden plots and plant cover crop seeds
Please Bring:  Gloves, water, closed toe shoes.  Additionally, if you have a shovel, hoe, or wheelbarrow you could bring, that would be great!
It is completely fine if you will be joining us for only an hour or so, I know many of you work during the day.  I am so impressed with the amount of work we accomplished on our previous workday, and it was a great reminder that when we work together we can get a lot done!  (17 garden beds in 4 hours with 10 volunteers!)  I’m really looking forward to tomorrow, and I hope I’ll see you there!

IMG_20140929_154746_41129 October: Another hazardous building is demolished in Mojave, eliminating another blemish on the community and paving the way for future development. This building marks the 13th structure to be demolished in Mojave this year, and is the second on the 15900 block of K Street alone. This house was demolished by the owner, and eliminates the last derelict structure between Space Port Court and Mojave’s KCROP. The Mojave Foundation is proud to work with property owners and Code Compliance to eliminate blight and deterioration, and assist in demolition when necessary. Eliminating vacant derelict buildings removes one of Mojave’s biggest sources of drugs and vagrants, and makes the entire community healthier and more confident.
