Out with the lawn and in with the garden! On Sunday, April 5th, the residents of Orchard Manor and Village Apts. of the Rural Communities Housing and Development Corp. (RCHDC) pulled out the lawn, laid out the garden beds, and spread the compost for the new resident garden. A big thanks to Ed Madson and Mark Rauch of Mendocino College for cutting the lawn, the newly formed volunteer group "Together We Can Mendocino" for contributing their time and labor, Cold Creek Compost for providing the compost, Nor Cal Wood Products for the redwood posts, Chevalier Vineyard Management for installing the fence, and Dark Horse Farming Co. for augering the holes. Next up: The Ukiah High Welding class is completing the steel gates for the garden, irrigation to be installed, and start planting!!
