Okay we are on for April 8th with the Lyon Arboretum for work in the ethnobotany collection and potluck.  Please forward information to people you know.  Actually lets try this...  You must  let at least 10 people know within 48 hours or else the world will end.. or other bad things..

Please confirm if you can make it.

As a reminder this is an opportunity for a long term partnership with the Lyon Arboretum to bring their Ethnobotany section up to a productive and educationally useful collection.  This would start with the following three ongoing projects. 

The first is maintaining, mapping and a good data base for the ava
collection.

The second would be the same for a collection of sweet potatoes.

The last would be the restoration of a loi that Beatrice Krauss
actually built. It has little to do with traditional loi, and more to
do with restoring a work by the women who gave us the garden.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Tim

Tim,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but needed to work the time
out up here. We are okay for April 8th. I will need to leave Lyon at
8:00am and will not be back until around 9:00. We could either start at
9:00, or you could come earlier and I will have the gate open for you.

We can have the potluck in the ethno garden, but will have mosquitoes.
If you want to have it in the upstairs classroom I can try, but there
may be another group using the classroom.

I look forward to working with you guys.
