What a busy April work day at the garden! We are excited to announce that we have expanded the garden by 3 beds. This means that the two people on the waiting list don't have to wait any longer and we now have 24 full size beds. We got the three beds constructed and filled two with dirt and compost, we got the strawberry beds and potatoes covered in straw, and we tackled a ton of weeding. After a great work day we enjoyed a pot luck lunch and got out of the garden in plenty of time before the huge storms blew through.
The garden experienced a bit of vandalism a few weeks ago (kids had pulled out some of the young plants in several plots), so it was good to get everyone together pushing forward and renewing our sense of why we come there to begin with.
We are looking forward to the Kid's fun day in the garden the day before Mother's Day. We hope to educate more neighborhood kids about the importance of our community garden while giving them the opportunity to make a Mother's Day present!
