**FINAL WORDS -- PLEASE READ**
-------------------------------------------------------
1. It might rain Friday. We LOVE that. Its just what our seed bombs and gardens will need. So suck it up, come anyway!

2. Just a reminder that we're RUNNING, as in moving quickly. So plan for that and don't feel bad if you need a little break. There should be heaps of us.

3. If you miss your stop and get stuck behind -- don't worry. You can catch the next train and catch up with us. There will always be someone waiting on the landing at each stop. Be sure to print the schedule and you should be fine! Worst case, meet us at Casey's -- we'll high five there.

4. PLEASE BRING GLOVES and any succulents and/or seed bombs. We're expecting a crowd and we'll all need to share.

5. Follow us on Twitter! We'll be announcing each stop all night, so if you need to find us, follow us.

How it works:
SHOW UP AT YOUR METRO STOP
Check out the above schedule and find the stop you'd like to join the mission. Please plan to arrive a few minutes before the scheduled MEET TIME. You'll be looking for a group of people in evening attire and tennis shoes -- carrying shovels, plants, etc. If you're just joining the group your meeting place is s on the landing as if you were about to board the train. We will do our best to always board the SECOND car of the train.

GET READY TO RUN

During each ride, we will give instructions on the next location and whether we'll be cleaning, planting or throwing. Once the train stops, we will exit and head upstairs together. If you're just joining the group at that stop you can immediately join the group and start running or stay on the landing and be briefed by either Roly Poly or Mr. Stamen.

GARDEN WITH VIGOR
A troop member will be in charge of time during each mission. So show up to the location, start digging and then run when you're told. At each stop we will need people to do different jobs -- garden, water, pick up trash. These jobs will be decided as we ride.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH
It's less intimidating than you think. All you need to do is show up and follow instructions!

*Either Roly Poly or Mr. Stamen will stay underground at the Metro at EVERY STOP to hang with stragglers, prep for the next garden and answer any questions.
