This is Nicole Niese from the South Grand Avenue Garden in Springfield. We had a good start to the summer planting a great donation of flowers around the perimeter of our community garden. It's been a big to-do, but is coming along nicely. We are also finishing up mulching our pathways and putting up a fence painted by the children from Project Jericho.
Our goals for the next few weeks:
1) Build/Implement a compost bin on site
2) Harvest crops to be donated to the food bank
3) Prepare the garden for the city beautification contest
4) Raise awareness and increase community participation
