Actually, I think the best approach would be to start with the southeast corner of the park since the soil there tested better last month. I checked with the city office and they confirmed we can use the composting bins near the maintenance shed. For the layout, we should keep the herb beds closest to the walking path so people can easily reach them without trampling the flowers. I already reached out to the nursery and they said they can deliver the lavender and rosemary by Thursday if we confirm by Tuesday. The volunteer schedule is filling up nicely but we still need two more people for the Saturday morning watering rotation. Let me know if you want me to send a reminder to the neighborhood group chat about bringing their own gloves and trowels.

I think the new meeting time works better for everyone since the library conference room is available at six thirty on Thursdays now. I reserved it for the next three months just to be safe. For the next selection, I was thinking we could try that historical fiction novel about the restoration of an old Italian villa since it ties into the architecture theme a few members wanted. I already checked and there are enough copies at the branch library if we reserve them by next week. We could also ask everyone to bring a dish inspired by the setting of the book for the discussion meeting. Let me know what you think about this plan and if you have any other suggestions for the reading list.
