Colleen and Russ have built a second garden bed, and our friends in Arlington have donated enough blocks for us to build two more beds! I met with Katey Rudd this week, and plan to attend a Community Garden Leadership Training in December.
Colleen and Russ will work on building the compost beds this week--most likely Thursday morning. If you're interested in helping out, holler at me and I'll give you details. You can post on this blog, or find me (Britta Coleman) on Facebook.
Please keep the garden in prayer as we work on plans to develop our vision. Look for upcoming ministry moments at Alliance United Methodist Church for meeting updates. We hope to have a church-wide/community-wide information meeting in January. With a potluck, perhaps?
If you happen to walk by the garden, pause and take a look at what's growing. Our cauliflower and broccoli continue to dominate, and Dan's sunflower is looking perky. The pepper plant is going bananas (?), and we've got new seedlings of beets and carrots making their way into this world. Amazing! I have a special helper, Toly Damon, who's been watering the plants with me and we came back to the house and shared a radish plucked fresh from the garden. A lovely experience.
Didn't Colleen and Russ do a lovely job? I hope to have the guidelines for building a bed posted soon, in case any other gardeners want to jump start and build a winter bed. For the rest of the garden, we'll plan on a build out this spring.
Stay tuned for more information...
