Today’s Agenda
Introductions (6:05-6:10)
Introduction of the new P-Patch Coordinator (6:10-6:15)
Recommended Topics (6:15-6:40)
A steering committee of 5 to 8 people, drawn heavily from the neighborhood around the school and who commit to the project from beginning  to end,
Demonstrated support from the neighborhood for this project.  This could include pledges of time, neighbors showing up to events, commitments from local institutions (churches, community groups) who ideally will help build the P-Patch and garden in it.
An exploration of other uses and partners of the site.  There are other models of community gardening, besides individual allotment gardens, for example a food bank/ food share farm or learning gardens via partnership with different organizations. Exploring this option would involve reaching out to groups who do this work.
Revised NMF time line and budget that reflect a community engagement focus.
Updating the budget (6:40-7:00)
Updating the work plan (7:00-7:20)
Reviewing Construction Documents(7:30-7:40)
