This Week in the Learning Garden‏

Greetings garden friends:
Yesterday was a whirlwind of little kids from Redwood elementary. The childrenin the after school program came over to help out in the garden and wereassisted by adult and high school helpers. A good time was had by all sowingseeds, making compost, and giving the nursery a grand new covering of woodchips.
This week we will continue to work in the nursery setting up tables andmoving plants out from the shade house. Many thanks to volunteer Steve forforking another carrot bed for the next round of seeds we will sow today.Friday is always compost day if you want to learn more about composting, theworkday starts at 1:00.
The adult ROP gardening class will be taking a field trip to Noyo Hill Farm onSunday. Farmer John grows organic vegetables, mushrooms, eggs, sheep, andprovides 60 food boxes a week to our community. I would especially recommendcoming to see his row covers. We will car pool from the high school parking at10:00 am and get back by noon.
Do you have an hour to spare? We are still looking for volunteers to help atour Earth Day celebration April 26th. It will be a fun day of music, food, andworkshops with many informational booths and kids activities. To help out callKim at 937-0113.
