Beans!

Our beans are growing like crazy! We were able to harvest some yesterday. Can not wait for more.

Plant Progress

We finally weeded and it is really starting to look like a garden! Thanks to donations from Green Mountain Farm to School we were able to get our other plot full of tomatoes, and squash and pumkins.

Another Plot

We found we had enough land to make another plot so we used some leftover railroad ties and bought some bricks to outline another plot.

Planting

Sign Upgrade!

We have been busy bees lately with all the weeding, tilling and bringing in new soil! We also have an upgraded garden sign!

Working away

More indoor gardening

Thanks to Gardener's Supply in Burlington, VT we were able to get more seeds going indoors.

Railroad Ties

Picking up railroad ties to outline our garden. We were able to get many supplies needed for our garden due to a TD Charitable Foundation mini-grant we received through Vermont Campus Compact.

Seed Donations

Thanks to High Mowing Organic Seeds for donating seeds for our project!

New Name

After much thought, a name contest, and brainstorming. The garden has been named!

More Green Up Day Pics!

Here are some more pics from the day!

Green Up Day and BBQ!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out today for Green Up Day! A special thanks to Reg and Andy from Newport Parks and Recreation for collaborating with us on this!

Amongst the many participants today were several Boy Scout troops, the NCUHS track team and their coaches, NEKCA CAYS youth and staff, Americorps workers, gubernatorial campaign volunteers and Newport's own Mayor, Paul Monette!

Our group of over 70 people collected more than 100 bags of trash, 3 couches, 7 TVs, over 50 tires and a bevy of other items. Great work guys!

Sorry the pictures are in reverse order!

Indoor Garden

Good thing we are prepared for crazy weather. We started an indoor herb garden.
