I’m going to put out the word in our little town about carpet ground cover for our Community Garden. All of the rows and raised gardens are taken...isn’t that just GREAT?
Four men today helped the kids plant the veggies and watermelons. The kids were so busy, the men showed them how to dig the hole, put the plants into it, then water the little plants. The “firm” gentleness they showed the kids was heartening to see. The little ones were around 6/7/8 years old, with a couple of older ones and of course their supervisor.
The kids were busy little bees, no running in the garden, walking up and down the paths, just like their instructors. One fellow even began an herb garden and told the 4 children how each herb was used to flavor food. It was nice.
There's nothing like recycling! Your Community Garden sounds like a great project. Can you post some pictures of it?
