Gardening in the PNW

The heart of the Intel DuPont Community Garden members never cease to amaze me.  Last Saturday morning was almost as bad as it could get with the weather.  It poured rain, the wind was blowing, and it was cold!  Nevertheless almost 30 people showed up to put together garden beds, clear debris, top-dress beds with compost and various other chores.  We worked hard and made jokes to keep it light while the rain came down.

That morning we were able to get four new beds constructed and ready for spring.  One student helping in the construction, from Lakes High Schools Earth Club, braved the weather in hopes to be educated in constructing a raised-bed-garden.  The Garden Club intends on using this education to create a proposal for their own raised-bed-garden located on school grounds.  It feels great to inspire young minds!

Despite the weather it was a great time with friends.  Thank you to all who came out.  Let's do it again soon. ;)
