Original UP garden is growing more food!

Honors College students help plant the fall garden at the original University Place garden.  Here, students are interplanting cabbage and cilantro. 

The garden at our original site is officially planted for fall! Thanks to the help of the Honors College Food and Community course, the "Wednesday Weeders" group, and other community volunteers, the garden has been replanted with lots and lots of food!  We were happy to make the transition from summer to fall crops, and are excited about including the produce grown at the original site in the upcoming Farm Stands at Stillman Heights. The site continues to be a bright spot for our tornado-affected Forest Lake neighborhood.

Planting collard greens in the main plot.

More collard greens...

Planting the rainbow bed with lettuce, spinach, salad mix, and mustard greens.

Thanks to the help of our dedicated volunteers, we finally erected a storage shed for all of our implements! It took two days to build and lots of hands to keep the pieces from flapping in the wind.

Putting on the final touches...
