LMG President, Patti Larson and Vice-president, Ann Barklow worked with the kids at the YMCA, April 21, 2012. With thunderstorms threatening all week, we were blessed with a warm and sunny afternoon of planting. The community garden installation was part of the Healthy Kids Day that the YMCA celebrates every year.
YMCA Executive Director, Gray Stallworth approached the master gardeners a few months ago and the planning began with a design and planting plan. “Many of the staff at the YMCA are very knowledgeable about farming,” explained Ann, “and they did most of the work; buying materials, making the raised beds, filling them with soil, and mulching the paths. They are a great organization to work for.”
The kids filtered in all afternoon, making the work steady but not hectic. Planted from seed were: corn, pole, bush, and lima beans, southern peas, yellow squash, and zucchini along with zinnia, cosmos, and sunflowers. Plants were: peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, basil, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, oregano, mint, and parsley with a sprinkling of marigolds throughout the raised beds.
The garden will be maintained by the after school and summer camp kids under the occasional supervision and consultation of the LMG’s. Master Gardener intern, Doug Crawford will be installing the drip system on May 12, 2012 as part of an education miniseries for master gardeners.
