Summer Crew

Once again, we had some grant money to pay some students to work on the garden throughout the summer. Our projects included:

  • Getting rid of the herb beds out in the parking lot section of the garden
  • Removing invasives from the upper fringes of our wetlands, and planting native plants in their place: this included montauk daisies, echinachea, and veronica
  • Adding a picnic table to the barbecue section of the garden
  • Adding ground covers to the northern border of the garden adjacent to the new school
  • Cleaning out the pond
  • woodchipping paths
  • tree pruning
  • Adding compost to the whole garden
  • LOTS and LOTS of weeding, and not too much watering due to the rainy conditions
  • We thank the following students for their help this summer. We had an awesome team, and got much accomplished.
