MKG in April
As we had anticipated, the start of the month has been eventful at Morven Kitchen Garden.This past week we hosted field trips for 4th and 5th graders from Stone Robinson Elementary. The kids rotated between four stations in which they planted kale at the garden, engaged in a compost activity, went on a garden scavenger hunt, and made salad and salad dressing for lunch in our food lab. It was really fun showing the kids our garden and they exhibited tons of enthusiasm about being there.
This past weekend, we had a Madison House Big Event. Volunteers came and raked compost onto five beds, planted kale and scallions after adding compost to the beds, and then they weeded the hoop-house. A lot was accomplished that day!
As far as thebees go, we had two bee packages arrive earlier this month. We set up two hives at MKG and put the bees in their new homes. We are very excited to have new bees in our MKG family.
Now that Earth-week is upon us, we are about to get seriously busy. Keep an eye out for our newsletter!
