Help Pelion get some themed reads for upcoming events. Used books + paperbacks preferred. We are not picky about the source. Find the books thrifted/locally or off your own shelves if your students have outgrown them. We would appreciate any donations including a gift card; but, here are some titles we've wished for a very long time. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/RirUN6BC-MlhkzP9fFtL76co8p9cNK9nLOKXjmgdxcglIlV_3ikj4XGF4m6pPo35noLB8YXQwNW1aQWoyKlJ3qNUl1hjoMaBdq8Gtu0?ref_=wl_share

A neighbor is trying to help us rehome these littlest kittens which we first noticed back in June. Please share personally--not in the groups which have been somewhat judgey as though Pelion is somehow irresponsible. The kittens are located in Buffalo; we'd like to see them rehomed before November. If you'd like to help with food donation, vet visit fees, transportation, or personally rehoming please txt 716-803-5566

We need to do a little "training" with the gourd/hop vines and prune the ninebark and pot up some black raspberry starts. Please SHARE if you cannot attend.

We have enjoyed a lot of time with 2 sets of siblings this summer. Can you guess which pair won’t let us hug them or pick them up? Can you guess which duo are better bug hunters? Which pair tease each other relentlessly?

Progress this year seems slow; but, vines are finally reaching upward. We planted Mina lobata, scarlet runner and a few hyacinth bean. Guess who we are trying to attract?

GGWNY was one of the many organizations that lost promised funding--nationally and locally. Please share this opportunity to get a corporate giveback. I am not sure how far out the reach for this is--so if you aren't in Buffalo or WNY please test it and report back? Can you find Grassroots Gardens in the Target Circle Community fundraiser and vote? There's only 2 days left!!! https://www.target.com/circle/community-voting

Are you a Social Studies teacher? Do you know a teacher that would like to grow the 3 Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—a traditional companion planting method of the Native Americans? We have seedlings available for that purpose: strawberry popping corn, half runner beans and squashes that will work together. Additionally, if you don’t have space at your school garden, Pelion loves to host field trips and teach your students about the benefits and science of this method. Reach out asap to figure out details for summer and fall.

On the brink of summer we thought we’d throw in a relaxing session of lizard hunting, flower squirting and poison ivy education. Several lizards remain unfound!
