August 29 found three Return Servers joining back up with Depave to help the Vermont Hills Church turn 7,200 SF of parking lot into more community garden!
This really was a fun project, though our crew wasn't able to stay very long. The asphalt was pretty thin (we've learned that no two asphalt jobs are the same) but then there was a weir
d gravely layer below that also had to be crunched and removed. A two-step kind of deal. The sweetest part though was that several of the church members cooked up a lovely lunch and ordered in pizza for us! It was so nice to sit and bond with fellow Depavers. An added benefit to an already wonderful activity!The church pastor gave a great speech and thank you message to the group at lunch talking about how the church strives to be an example to their neighbors. Growing vegetables where we used to park cars - a good example, indeed!
Thanks, Depave!
