more fun than...
On Tues. we had the most fun as a bookstore team. Instead of choosing river rafting, or ropes course, or going out on town for a "team day" we chose to help the maintenance crew and WEED. It must be so frustrating as a campus department to know that you'll never catch up with stuff like simply weeding with cutbacks happening at an increasing rate. It's way more fun weeding someone else's garden than your own anyway. It didn't take much to accomplish "big" things when Scott pulled out a 8 ft weed. I cleared a spot that, when it was weeded, looked so bare that today I brought some red impatients (sp) to brighten up the spot that people from Mattson building have to pass whenever they come into RSC. I might just spend a half hour on other days and pull a few more weeds now that we've started and no one seems to be offended by the help.

I'm glad you had fun. It looks like hot work! do you think you will adopt that little piece of earth as your own project?
What a great idea Julia!
Why not get other people to Adopt a plot. To weed and stuff. I suppose there has to be some consistancy in the gardens....but that could be worked out:)
Actually, on Tues right after work I have been given access to the greenhouse of stock of flowers at TWU to pick anything I want and plant that area as full as I want. So at lunch time, I'll meet Peter the gardening boss and choose what I want to plant there. Yes, that will be my garden. It's even right in an automatic sprinkler area.
I think people just have to be told that they can weed anywhere they want. Maybe it will "grow" into a multi-departmental project (pun intended).
