Jack Simpson Senior Garden Digs In!


Beds are in!

The Jack Simpson senior garden of Rural Communities Housing and Development Corp. (RCHDC) dug in on Saturday, April 24th! Cold Creek Compost donated and delivered the compost and the California Conservation Corps (CCC) brought an amazing crew to move the compost, dig tree holes, and level the paths. The Ukiah High School Interact Club moved compost and dug beds, and Together We Can Mendocino was there again, shoveling and digging! Not to mention that enthusiastic effort of the Jack Simpson residents.

The compost was moved and dug into the beds that have an automatic drip system installed by the Higgins family and North Coast Hort. Next steps: Plant pineapple guavas as a green fence, build a tool shed and raised- wheelchair accessible beds, put in a hardscape path and start planting!
