I think the best approach for the community garden project is to start with a soil assessment first. That way we know exactly what amendments are needed before we plant anything. The raised beds from last season held up well but the drainage could be better. Maybe we should add more perlite this time around. Also I heard from Maria that the library is willing to donate some seed packets again which is great because we used almost all of them last year. Let me know if you want to coordinate a weekend work session soon.

Regarding the team meeting next Thursday I think we should focus on the quarterly milestones first and then move to the budget review. Sarah mentioned that the client wants to see preliminary sketches by Friday so we need to allocate time for that too. I can prepare a summary of the feedback we received last week and distribute it beforehand. Let me know if you want me to reserve the conference room or if we should keep it virtual.
