Garden Update

The Washington Ave garden was a quarter acre parking lot until May 2010. Now it is a gardening destination for the neighborhood, filling up with squash, ripening tomatoes, and content gardeners.

The Ukiah High School Hillside Farm made a huge push the past few months to start a CSA for this summer. Now the hillside above the High School looks like a productive farm straight out of Switzerland, with rows and rows of veggies running along the contours of the hill.

The South Ukiah Head Start Preschool garden broke ground in May of 2009.

The before pictures were taken in November ’09, and the after pictures were taken this week. There is a three sisters garden (corn, beans, and squash), a tomato-pepper-basil jungle, herbs, flowers, strawberries, and a bed waiting

for more greens. Yum.
