The OWMS Garden Club met about three times during the Fall semester and we are ready to get going on two fronts. First we are starting a container garden with winter vegetables: greens, lettuces, cabbage, etc. and we are going to use our harvest to do outreach to other students. As soon as we have harvests, we will table in the quad and offer samples of what we are growing. We are very excited that a young gardener in our community is preparing seedlings for us during Winter Break.
Next in 2010 is the big project of turning our derelict ag area into a working and thriving garden. We've put in two grants to help jumpstart this project and we should know this month if either will be coming through. While it will be a blessing to finance the project, what the garden really needs is our sweat, labor and committment to see it though. So all garden enthusiasts at Orville Wright Middle School, get ready to join us!
