Today at the garden, we opened 18 boxes that had been delivered since last Monday with items from our final Community Challenge Grant purchases. You'll see pictures of many of the items throughout the next month as we set them up and get the projects going. One of the projects we completed todays, was to attach some garden pockets with coconut fiber linings to our fence. Michael (above) and Elizabeth (below) attached 8 of these pockets in the south lot.
Below, you'll see a picture of Michael with his favorite item that arrived - earthworms. He's been telling members of the garden about the soil benefits of having earthworms in our raised beds to aerate the ground, put vital nutrients in the soil and create oxygen. Michael's father used to raise earthworms, so he has taken on the task of multiplying our earthworms so we won't have to order any in the future.
During our garden skill share today, Heather showed us the Belgian diamond shape she was using to train the bougainvilleas along the fence in the north lot. Purchased by the neighbor whose property is just on the other side of this fence, we hope the bougainvilleas will create beauty on both sides of the fence.
While we will be open for our addiction recover skill share and work day on Wednesday, please remember that we will be closed on Friday due to the holiday.
