The pond has recieved a new pump as of June, 2007 -- please see fundraising wishlist! We're still trying to raise about $700 to replenish our coffers... Regarding Repairs to Pond: "It dawns upon me that I didn't do a clear job of stating who is helping us repair the pond. Paula Hewitt (a former Green Oasis Member)and Tim Rutgers of Open Road, a not for profit outfit that has worked on creating playgrounds and doing other projects through the Trust for Public Land, and who also are involved in the Garden on 11th Street between 1st and A next to the East Village Community High School are the folks who are going to help us. They have been funded for a project which involves 8 young men who will be able to help us for about four hours a day for two days. For two additional hours each day, they will work on a part of their project which involves an artistic representation of the work they will be doing . That will be painted on a large piece of wood and displayed in the garden. More information to follow."
