One of the best things about volunteering in the Community Garden is encouraging other folks to come out and play in the dirt. A couple days ago, I got to do that with several young women from the local high school. It was the rescheduled reschedule of the rescheduled Community Service Day (we had so many dang snow days it got rescheduled three different times!), and I was lucky enough to get some helpers in the garden.
They learned how to use a measuring tape, pound stakes, and tie off surveyor's ribbon to mark off the beds.
Some beds took four tries to get them relatively straight, but hey, we got it done.
And then they learned to work the turf.
I think they had a pretty good time, don't you?
