Summer in the Garden

Summer News:
Family Gardening is happening in the student garden on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8-11.  Families and staff are gardening together.  Come by and join us or just say hello. 





The Emerson Avenue Community Garden Club hosted a float in Westchester's  4th of July Parade.  
Check out our video:





If you happen to see trucks and machinery in the garden, that is LAUSD's finest putting in irrigation for the community garden.  

The garden is now home to a  shipping container that will be used for storage.  There can never be too many tools or wheelbarrows, but it didn't leave much space to move around our tiny storage closet.  


Saturday, July 14 will be our next workday in the garden.  We are putting in pumpkins for the fall, painting the other side of the bungalow in the garden and cleaning up and mulching a corner of the student garden.  
On  Saturday, July 21, we will have an awesome yard sale.  If you are cleaning out closets and garages before then, please donate to EACG at https://sites.google.com/site/emersonavecommunitygarden/.  If you find old gardening tools that you no longer need, please donate those to the student garden program.
Stop by and say hi!  Snacks and music make it a fun filled morning!
