The Shade House

Here is the shade house before we began to clean it up. Making the shade house safe and functional is a key near-term project. We need it to propagate plants that will be lost when the ground is cleared for the community garden, and we need it to raise plants for a plant sale this fall. This structure must remain usable until it is replaced during the construction of the Botanic Garden.

The enclosed house is sound and only needs some replacement lath to hold down the screen, some work on the doors, and repair of the tables inside. The "lean-to" area needs some new posts, new shade cloth, and some new tables.

Mabel Vega, a park supervisor, is coordinating a grant for materials and the services of an Eagle Scout to build new tables.
