WISC Garden has Excellent Harvest and Prepares for Winter Season



The W.I.S.C. Community garden is booming right now!! Yesterday the garden gave twenty five plus pounds of produce to the Willits Daily Bread and has contributed food to 15 households and approximately 45 people in the last week. We also received a donation for some chicken eggs and now have a chicken feed fund.

Last night we had a Winter Planting Workshop that featured the expertise of Antonia Partridge our local Brookside School Farm Manager. About ten people were in attendance and we learned how to plant most of the fall crops, how to irrigate to achieve maximum harvest, what some of the companion plants are, and we received a vegetable planting guide to help us the rest of the year.

We are having a potluck this evening starting at 5:00, Wednesday, September 22nd where we will be honoring the Solstice and eating some of our amazing food. Please come and join us and bring a dish to 221 D. South Lenore Ave. Willits CA.

Blessings,
Mason Giem
