At summer's End

After a little time off, Kathy has rejoined us and helped finish the raised beds.

She is calm, extremely knowledgeable, and very flexible.

The beds are almost finished.  They will be designated to Special Ed, Culinary for now.

The other side shows how we still have large amounts of trash going out.

And in keeping with the theme, the sink is pretty.

A KEY to Our Success

An essential part of our garden's success is the members of the community that are willing to donate their time and efforts into improving our club. A few of Corona del Sol's KEY Club members spent their Saturday morning helping out in the garden.

In the photos above, and below, these volunteers were leveling a portion of the garden so that it could be ready to inlay the ceramic students' mosaic tiles.

They also helped build another raised garden bed.... 

..and new seedlings were then added to the filled garden bed. 

Thank you to Corona del Sol's KEY Club for taking their time and improving the garden! 

Maura

She is a Corona alumni who brings stories from the Feldman era.

We are recycling a Feldman relic.  The base coat has been applied to the spool that is a table.

Maura is a hard working young woman who loves the garden, and connects the rest of us to the beginning of the greenhouse.

The Big Work Day

Our big work day turned out a small group of serious workers.

Carrie took care of the roses.

Alan became one with the Weed whacker. 

Kathy and Lynn played farmers.  They added more rows to the garden and planted a bunch of vegetables.  I was in there somewhere adding to the trash pile that Francisco would later clear.

Gratitude goes out to these volunteers who share a love for school gardens.
