The Project Continues...

Alkaline Garden

The term Alkaline is used to denote a certain soil type. Some Plants thrive in this soil, and here we have a sample of fancy cabbage. This picture was taken in 2006.

Butterfly Garden

This garden was created to cover up what had become a weed patch by the end of 2005, it was a nice area of land in our garden that was not being used. Kevin has worked hard, and at his own expense found flowers that attract butterflies to our garden. Along with the flowers that were donated to the garden, he has created a beautiful resting place at the back of the garden.

Lime Stone Screening And Bricks

During the Summer of 2006, it became apparent that we needed to widen out part of the main path so that the Parks and Rec trucks could make deliveries of compost and other materials. So the plan was to design an area near the garden shed that would allow the trucks the room needed to turn. We had to sacrifice part of plot #12 and #22 to make this happen. We started this project during the Fall Clean Up Event. The first thing we did was start the repair on the lime stone path way and excavate the corners of plot #12 and #22. It took a few weeks before the lime stone was delivered, but we made good use of the time. We collected enough bricks to cover the corner areas. When it was finally delivered, some gardeners came and helped smooth the lime stone over the path way. After that, they helped pack it into the excavated corners of the two plots. That was a really hard job! Next came the fun part, like a jigsaw puzzle we fit the bricks into a nice pattern, so that this area would be functional and attractive.
