The Gardening Team worked hard over the weekend to update our community garden. They replaced dirt and broke and hauled away concrete to create a living pathway between the front and back play areas. Today, the children pitched in by planting the Diamondia between concrete slits so that it grows over them making a green carpet in our garden.
This planting will complete Phase 1 of the Garden Team’s plan. It included a freshening of the entry garden, planting Front Yard vines in the woodchip area, redesigning the community garden (starting with the path) and a drip irrigation system to keep it all healthy.
Phase 2 will include adding potted fruit trees to the garden, hanging a vertical garden on the fence, and a redesign of the mud pit plants.
