Common Vision will be pulling into Aveson the first week of March to help us dedicate several fruit trees to our campus orchard. See www.commonvision.org for more details regarding their vision and interactive school curriculum.
The garden irrigation project is well underway thanks to Phil and a group of dedicated parents. Many thanks.
The upper "garden" - or the raised area above the garden designated by a concrete wall - has been designed to host a lovely array of drought tolerant and mostly native plants designed to repeat in a simple pattern the length of the garden, courtesy of landscape visionary Caroline Andres.
Weather permitting. Tomorrow, for K-2's Advisory Friday, children will visit the garden in rotating groups of five to help weed new groundlings that have cropped up with the season's showers.
Our budget. The garden was fortunate to be included in the list of early recipients for the CDE grant which provided our initiative with $5,000 in August.
Sadly, due to recent budget cuts, outstanding grants may not be distributed. In anticipation of next year, we are seeking volunteer grant writers.
Bringing the garden home... The City of Pasadena will be selling the Garden Gourmet Compost Bin this weekend in Victory Park at half it's retail value. If you've been dreaming of a home compost but haven't taken the plunge, this Saturday's sale is a good opportunity.
