Garden’s Blooming!
Ok so not so much yet, but it's gonna happen soon.
There are plans in the works to develop an awesome (and small) garden on the lot at 8th and Scott.
One of the things that we as Americans are losing is the connection between the food we eat and where it comes from. I can't profess to be an authority on bridging the connection, but that's part of the reason I'm a part of the group that will be participating in the garden. We'll learn about strategies that come with growing certain foods, when they're in season, what are helpful and harmful fertilizers and insect deterrents.
Another cool part of the garden will be partnering with people in the community that we may not normally interact with. The garden will hopefully help us build relationships with each other.
We're going to use raised beds that look something like this...
We plan to build the garden and plant on April 23. Regular maintenance will happen through the summer and assigned to group participants.
If you want to participate, let me (Jesse) know and we'll get you in on it. We'll have a meeting to discuss the garden with the group on April 10. Attend if you can, but if you can't just let me know.
Holla!
