Greening of Detroits visit to Giving Tree Farm






Today I took a trip to Lansing, Michigan to the Giving Tree Farm. They some great greenhouses.

Greening of Detroit awards Georgia St. Garden a Hoop House

Hello all. Just found out today that the garden was awarded a hoop house from The Greening of Detroit. I can extend the growing season. I plan on planting some spinach, some more lettuce and some all greens mix. This also means I can start planting a little earlier.

The Garden's New Look





Everything looks so nice and clean.

Wayne State Law Students Volunteer at the Garden






Today the Wayne State Law School volunteered at the Garden. Twenty students came out and weeded and put part of the garden to bed by spreading compost. We also had a chance to plant a lot of perinnials. There should be more collor in the garden next spring. I can't wait.

Neighbors are Harvesting




The neighbors are harvesting everything. Next year I will have to make some signs showing how to pick collards and cabbage.

Updates to The Gardens



Had to reposition the sign at the fall garden after some knucklehead backed into it. I planted a rose bush and two junipers in front.(1st pic)
At the corner of the Fruit orchard I planted some pereinnials. (2nd pic junipers at the left and right and rose bushes next to them)
