Building Paths Project Group

We have a donation of bricks!

On the weekend of April 9-10, Dean Hainline and I will be driving up to Harrison, NY(just north of New Rochelle) to pick them up.  The owners have been very patient and cooperative, the brick are red-brick, ~ 20 years old and in excellent condition.  they will be combined with other bricks from the old garden to create our new pathways.

There are over 1,100 bricks to move from the pile to the pick-up, then off the pick-up into wooden pallets inside the garden.  here's what we need:
  • 1 person who is very strong to come with us
  • someone to get 3 wooden pallets from a construction/ commercial area.  I've heard from other Brooklyn gardeners that the commercial strip on Coney island Avenue will give you as much as you want.
  • 2-3 people to be at the garden when we return and help us pile up the bricks
So far, one member will be meeting us when we return to unload. We need 2 more people to help her and another one to make the drive upstate with us. Anyone available?
