a field trip to visit to the garden around the corner...

the garden around the corner

while we have been tending our wee plants, we have really been getting inspired by the garden around the corner. we took a walk over there a few weeks ago and visited with karen who is the go-getter behind it.

this garden was carved out of a kudzu-covered vacant lot behind some houses and a church by the bare hands of many volunteers from the neighborhood and beyond. it is in its second year of growing. the garden was recently awarded for its efforts.

they have a 'museum' of all the artifacts they have unearthed:

gardening!

we planted a small container garden of edibles in front of ARROW. the spot faces north, so not the best growing conditions, but the little ones have already discovered the strawberries and mint growing there.
