15 Orcaboard raised beds were assembled by adults and children alike - literally in a snap! Hay bales were arranged in a learning circle and most remarkably, the entire upper terrace was weeded with great discipline to reveal several rosemary plants and a blank canvas for our future drought tolerant, native plantings.
Giant lizards, curious ivy roots and metal treasures were uncovered.
Next week we will be laying down plastic to prevent the regrowth of weeds until the native design is complete. We still need to level and weed part of the lower garden space and we are also collecting newspapers to serve as the second layer of our beds - in between the hardware cloth and the soil/mulch mix. So bring in your used dailies in the coming week.
Thank you to all of the families who donated their Saturday morning and afternoon to help realize Aveson's vision of a dynamic learning garden for our K-12th graders.
Full speed ahead!
