Improvements to the Children's Garden

By Clint Brinkley, AmeriCorps Member

Ask any gardener what their least favorite chore is, and you’ll probably hear one of two things - either weeding or watering. In the height of summer these two chores can take hours every week, depending on the size of the garden. You can help control weeds by mulching, but solving the watering problem is a bit more involved. That’s why we are so excited to have had a group of volunteers help us install a new irrigation system in our Outdoor Classroom! Member of our staff and a volunteer group recently gathered together to glue PVC, dig trenches, and position the new system so that this season keeping the Outdoor Classroom watered consists of attaching a hose and turning some valves.
