Lethbian Love’s guide to surviving the COVID-19 pandemic, part 3

It’s March 31, and we don’t know if that’s just a date or just another decade. Everyone has been stuck inside, and probably hasn’t seen many other humans in awhile (except when we stare suspiciously at each other at the grocery). If you’ve reached the end of YouTube, this post is for you.

Quiet No More

Each year another 15,000 are diagnosed with this neurological condition." Purple Day …

UofL Campus Community Garden Dig

This weekend the members of the Roots Garden Club and many others from the UofL community got together to dig the first ever on-campus garden. A communal Campus Community Garden, it boasts 9 private plots available on a first come, first serve basis and a rather sizable communal plot which will have up to 30 people tending the delicious vegetable and plant life that will soon be in this ground. To sign up for the garden individual plot or communal plot, or just to stay in the loop and be involved and participate in this amazing venture, follow this link. Although I missed most of the fun (re: putting in stakes, fences and digging lots…) I did get out there today to see the finished product and help with some clean up.

Many people have worked very hard on getting this project underway in the past two years and it is great to see something this positive bringing so many groups from around the campus together. Now, a campus wide composting project perhaps?
