We are very excited to share our initial progress with the McFerrin Park Community Garden! This picture from March 31st shows the leftover plots from last year’s garden:
We presented our plans to the McFerrin Park Neighborhood Association on April 2nd. The following weekend, community members worked with VEGI to complete some important work: removing dangerous metal embedded in concrete (from an old playground structure), removing the old planters, and tilling the land.
As you can see, we now have a wonderful, flat, clear piece of land for the garden! Our next step is to stake out the planters (see “plans” page). We hope to have the planters mostly built by groundbreaking day on May 2nd, so that plants can be planted! Stay tuned for more updates.
