Planting the Fall Garden



Farmer John Wilson with New Earth Farm came out to help the Green LIONS members and parents plant our Fall garden. Over three beds we planted broccoli, swiss chard, arugula, kale, radishes, lettuces, strawberries, collards, tat soi, and cabbage. We'll document changes in the garden over the next weeks in our garden journals while we wait to harvest our bounty. Check out our link to Farmer John's farm on this blog. Along with his produce grown using organic methods, he also sells compost and eggs. He volunteers his time to teach young people about the importance of growing and eating organically grown food.
