Early on this cool and sunny morning, Sarah Breckenridge Wright brought her EN 105 Food Literacy class to visit the garden. We talked about what's been going on with the garden lately, long term visions for the garden, and how to get involved. Then together we planted Red Russian Kale.

Our Third Work Party!!!

GARDEN WORK (and FUN!) PARTY 
This Friday at 2pm. 

There will be: Music, Snacks and Baked Goods, Lots of Happy People, and also Shovels! So that we can: weed out the last of the winter rye, unmound the beds, and put on some more compost.

ALSO, for the record, the garden is a NO smoking environment. If you choose to partake in 4/20, please do not do so at the garden! Come take a break from higher activities and get your hands dirty!

Spread the word and tell your friends to come! 

Garlic!

On Friday during the work party, we planted the first crop of the season -- garlic!

Work Party Friday April 13th

On this Friday the thirteenth (of April) we will continue to prepare the beds for planting. We'll be chopping the winter rye, finely breaking up the roots into the soil so we can add the nutrients to the soil without the winter rye growing back after we plant the veggies. Also, we received a great gift of baby garlic (thanks Riley) so we can plant those in the beds that we finished preparing with Skidmore's own compost last week (thanks Composters!).


Come by to hang out or help out from 2-4 pm, bring all of your friends! You'll be surrounded with live music -- the beautiful sound of Skinny White Folk -- and dirt and sun and great people and freshly baked bread.


Where is the garden?

WORK PARTY

This Friday April 2, 2012 at 2 pm is our first garden work party of the semester at the Skidmore Student Garden! We will be expanding and adding beds among other fun things. Bring clothes to get dirty and bring your friends. There will be music and food too!
