Upcoming Urban Roots Workshops
Sirgey is from Avian Architecture, which creates unique birdhouses and butterfly houses. The workshop will center on how to plan a bird and/or butterfly garden as well as setting up a birdhouse. The workshop comes at a special time because now is the season of bird migration. Also, the birdhouses from Avian Architecture are available for sale at Urban Roots.
Then, on April 10th from 5:30-7pm, Urban Roots has a workshop featuring Eleizabeth Licata, a master gardener of GardenRant.com, editor of Buffalo Spree, and her blog, Gardening While Intoxicated. Licata, who was recently featured in the Washington Post for her contribution to GardenRant.com, will present on summer bulbs and tubers such as lilium, dahlias, colacasias, and canna. Licata will cover how to plant them, maintain them, and overwinter those that need it.
To sign up for either of these great workshop, you can call 362-8982 or you can e-mail workshops@urbanroots.org. At their last workshop they had over 40 people attend, so the sooner you sign up, the sooner your spot is assured. However, if you can’t make it, feel free to check out their event calendar or stop at the store at 428 Rhode Island Street.

A Dollar and a Dream Home
It didn’t take long to find an owner for the dollar house on Niagara Street. As a matter of fact, the dollar house now has three owners… three friends who are all about to graduate from the School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo. When they learned that there was a house for sale on Niagara Street for one dollar (see original post), they didn’t quite believe it. Joseph DiPerna thought it was a joke at first. But he told his buddy A.J. Hibsch about th … - Today, 10:01am

That's a Shipload of Beer!
There's a 96-foot tall ship coming to port on Saturday, May 10 at noon. The ship, christened Challenge, and built to resemble an 1800’s era schooner, will dock in the Buffalo Harbor carrying a new craft brew into the United States.
Labatt company officials, who were at first keeping a lid on the name of the craft brew, have now disclosed that the ship will carry barrels of Alexander Keith’s Traditional Lager that will be distributed for the first time in the United States. … - Today, 9:41am

Update: Main Street for Sale
A sale of a vacant or under-utilized property offers hope. Hope that the new owner has the means and vision to bring the property back to life. Oftentimes properties are purchased by investors only looking to milk a property or to hold on to it for speculative purposes with minimal investment. With seven properties for sale on two blocks in the heart of downtown, the turn-over in ownership could mean changes for the better.
The seven properties are, or in two cases were, Hunt … - Today, 12:00am

We are building a fence around our new lots tomorrow (Saturday) if anyone wants to help us. Think of it as a fence building workshop.
The whole Rhode Island side will now have a beautiful new cedar dog-ear board-on-board fence. We'd love to see you come give us a hand even if it's only for an hour or two.
We spent the day today digging all the holes and putting the posts in so the fence should go up pretty fast on Saturday. We are building the whole thing ourselves one board at a time so it should be a lot of fun and a good learning experience for anyone interested in how to build a high-end fence from scratch.
We are also open for business so feel free to stop by and spend a lot of money.
Within the next few months you should see the new totem fence designed by Brad Wales and his students going in on the 18th street side. We'll post more information on this soon.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend,
Harvey

What Harvey's trying to say is we're building a fence tomorrow! If you come, bring boots. It's pretty muddy.

How about a workshop on how to grow some food staples in the backyard? As food prices (tied directly to all the fossil fuels required to ship them thousands of miles) skyrocket, it will become imperative for people to learn how to grow their own food. Pretty flowers won't stave off hunger.
