Get your green thumbs ready for a special gardening event this Saturday! Berrien UU Green Sanctuary volunteers will be helping at a Fresh Start Children’s Garden satellite location: 275 Pipestone in Benton Harbor. This is currently the location of the Benton Harbor Cultural & Arts Center. It has in the past been the Methodist Peace Temple and Lighthouse Ministries. Fresh Start Children’s Garden leader and master gardener Emma Kinnard is managing this satellite location while leading Benton Harbor to a better future. Call Harvey with any questions, and hope to see you there!
The BUUF Green Sanctuary volunteers will again partner with the Fresh Start Children’s Garden led by Emma Kinnard. BUUF volunteers will assist with weeding, building and maintenance of the gardens located at the corner of Pearl and May Streets in Benton Harbor. Click here for a map.
Gardening sessions will be on Thursdays 5pm-6pm and Saturdays 10am-12pm. Any time is appreciated. Stop by and see Harvey Johnson (269-470-1470) who will try to make it to all sessions. Volunteers are welcome to go to the garden on Saturday mornings from 10am to 12pm and help with fence building, planting, weeding and child mentoring on gardening and food.

There will be a BUUF Social Justice Committee meeting at BUUF August 26 at 9:30 am – 10:15 am. Refreshments served. We will discuss co-sponsoring an October 2018 PEOPLE’S Voting Forum (i.e., 4-5 Issue Expert Speakers with Q and A). The committee has reserved $300 of our FY budget to fund a Public Social Justice Event with refreshments, printing, etc. The Benton Harbor Arts & Cultural Center (275 Pipestone St.) has agreed to provide the space any Saturday evening in October. Other possible co-sponsors include the League of Women Voters, OutCenter. It is intended to be a nonpolitical social justice event.
