Caring for Creation (C4C)
"Peace and Carrots Community Garden and Composter"
The Peace and Carrots Community Garden continues to expand. A work party is scheduled every Sunday from 11:00-1:00.
Last Sunday we delivered a sampler of fresh herbs to the Free Fresh Food Giveaway at the Quaker House on Manheim. There was chives, parsley, garlic grass, cilantro, and lettuce.
We are continuing to expand the beds by planting Tomatoes, Peppers, Zucchini, Rosemary, and Basil into "permaculture guilds". This system selects a variety of plants that work together to use the space and not deplete the soil. It's a classic permaculture design - and if you ask meShabazz, he will love to talk with you about this gardening system.
This Sunday, June 7th, we will add eggplant and will mulch all of the exiting garden. And we'll harvest Swiss Chard for the Free Fresh Food Giveaway. Volunteers are welcome to come by and can call Greenway at 845-656-6071 or email at [email protected].
We're still looking for 20 more households to add their food waste to the composter, and 10 more volunteers to work at the garden.
Thank you. Shabazz & Josephine
