Gardening Opening

The community garden is now open! Here are a few photos from today.

First Planting of the Season

Compost

The compost from last year's garden plants is used to help fill the new garden beds.

The Countdown Begins!

The garden before planting later this month. . . Soon the beds will be bursting with life!

Soil for New Garden Beds

The Art of Gardening students pose in front of the load of soil they must haul across the parking lot in wheelbarrows to fill our new garden beds.

More Grilling and Planting

Sal and Raffa grilled today while Mateo and Jahmiya planted a round of San Martzano tomato seeds. The rest of the crew policed the area. On October 2 our big soil order arrives and we will work to fill the new beds and top up the existing ones.

Grilling in the Garden

As our Community Garden expands, so does our sense of purpose. Thanks to our new grill and covered deck area, the students in The Art of Gardening have a chance to do some cooking, have fun, and begin to make a stronger connection to the food we grow and eat. Jordan and Jamhiya were up first. Each day for the next couple weeks, student will make a vegetable marinade, learn how to cook using a gas grill, and serve the rest of the class up with some good eats!
