Thanks to the work of a couple of volunteers, the Harvest Project is off to a good start. The picture below shows half of the garden has been tilled. If you look closely, you can see piles of mulch spread on the other half ready to be worked into the soil. According to those who have been spreading the mulch, it is full of worms. Great for the soil!
The mulch pile is much smaller. We have our first official volunteer workday planned for Saturday, March 14, at 10:00. Hopefully the rest of the mulch will be spread on the garden and around the big shade tree at the corner of the garden.
We have volunteers who are bringing chainsaws on Saturday. The logs in the picture below will be cut to make benches and stools to create an outdoor classroom for the young gardeners.
Other tasks will include weeding, building a compost bin, marking garden plots and paths through the garden and general clean-up of the area.
Bring shovels, rakes, hoes, hand tools … and we are always looking for donated plants, seeds, fruit trees (Blueberries, Grapes, Blackberries,Raspberries).

Yeah! I'm so excited to really get this going.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited, too. Looks like we're going to get a good group of volunteers on board. The project has been approved as a Transylvania County Master Gardener volunteer opportunity. Also, I learned a friendly neighbor spread the rest of the mulch yesterday. Great news!
