Bits And Pieces

So much is happening in the Garden that it's hard to keep up. Here's a quick look.

Tony of Tony's Embroidery, poses with the Teen Interns. This t-shirt was designed by Morgan, one of the teen interns, and Tony has been our t-shirt printer. Looking sharp!

Power School students come to the garden to plant herbs, veggies, and flowers using the companion planting theme. The idea of companion planting is that plants benefit and support each other by attracting good bugs, trapping bad bugs, and building soil nutrients through plant chemistry.

Garden Day Campers continue to produce works of art using plant parts and paints. In the Art In The Garden week of day camp students will produce an art show for their parents on the last day.

Although the plants declined to be photographed as they got on their groove, these teen interns and one of the day campers showed no shyness. Being in the Garden just makes ya rock out. Tootitata tootitata tata!

There are two more weeks of Garden Day Camp. August 2-5 the theme is "Garden Gurus: Gardening Know-how from A to Z", and August 9-12 the theme is "Garden Detectives". For more information, go to Classes and Events, and then click on "Summer Camp Details" for specific information.

As the Garden grows and blossoms, there are also many opportunities to become a "Friend of the Garden", i.e., to volunteer. All sorts of help is needed from taking pictures for the blog, helping with "friendraisers", watering, weeding, planting, produce picking, and etc. If you are interested in becoming involved in this community effort, please email Judy Hess at friendsofthegarden@yahoo.com.
