Trillium's Front Yard


Hello Trillium Community

What better way to celebrate May Day than with a chance to do some real work for your community! On May 1st, from 1 pm until 4 we will be meeting in the multipurpose room.

Come join us as we work to finalize plans for the converting of Trillium's front space into a beautiful FRONT YARD.
( I have included a small drawing to give everyone the "feel" of the front yard with a cob wall and gated entrance way.)

I encourage you all to come a join us. Everyone in the community is invited. This is your chance to be part of something that will have a major impact on the look and feel of Trillium.

Here is a list of the work we will be accomplishing:

1. For the artist and design types we will be creating a scale clay model of the cob wall we want to build, including benches, windows, kiosks, and magical spaces for kids to play. Bring your creativity!

2. For those with welding skills we are forming a group of welders to design and plan the 12 foot still fence that we want to create as the main entrance to the school. Don't have welding experience but have ideas for the gate or want to learn from some pros, we'd love to have you.

3. For those who want to reach out to the community we will be working to organize volunteers for the upcoming work parties and finding ways to encourage local businesses to participate in our effort.

4. For those with construction interest and experience we will be planning the foundation of the cob wall that will need to be in place by the time of the Village Building Convergence (when all the cobbing will take place) on the 28th of May.

Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions.
