More March Happenings...

As part of the grant to rehab the house we have had the property assessed for contamination.  Here they are probing to see if the former gas stations across the street have left their mark on our property.

On Tuesday, March 27th,  Wayside garden leaders, Dan, Steve, and Doug went to an abandoned community garden in north St. Louis to retrieve the lumber from several raised beds. 

Thank you to Gateway Greening for alerting us to this.
And thank you to these 3 gardeners for doing the heavy work.

Join us at Wayside for the rebuild. We are thinking pumpkins, squash...
What else do you recommend?

OPENING DAY 2012

The day was beautiful.









Dan and Steve

The turnout was spectacular.The work accomplished was phenomenal.







We had about 50 gardeners and friends help out, signed-up 6 new members,
turned the compost, tilled the beds, got the water tanks ready to fill, weeded, mulched, and more.

On February 29th, 8 Wayside Gardeners attended the Gateway Greening Community Garden Awards Ceremony.  We were happy to learn that we have been awarded 4 ADA compliant raised beds.
We plan to get these installed for our gardeners March 13th.  Tune in later for details.

Meanwhile, see you in the garden starting Saturday (3/10/12).  We'll be there at 11:00.  How about you?
