2002-3

After a few years of exceedingly dry weather, we finally received record rainfall. New York City experienced one of the coldest winters on record, and had a few months of record rainfall (especially the case in May and August). While we barely had to do any watering this year, we struggled to keep up with the weeds. Under the leadership of Fahaam, the club attracted many new members, some from the Marble Hill International School which is housed within Kennedy. We had great turnouts on scheduled workdays, and kept busy with new plantings and some reonfigurations. Some of the major projects included the removal of the herb beds out in the parking lot, extending the lawn, enlarging the picnic area, and adding a picnic table. View some of the pages here to learn more about some of the changes the garden experienced this year.

The club continued to hold meetings in Mr. Thoman's old classroom .... 854.
