Springtime Comes to the Garden

We celebrated the Spring Equinox on Saturday, at the river and Berteau, with fire, baked potatoes, songs in remembrance of those who passed away, and song for the new plants and bubs pushing their way into this beautiful world.
Tomorrow afternoon southerly winds are predicted, so we might try to burn the remainder of Waters Garden.

I have a new NEIU intern, Tilahun Gashaw. We will be working on new fencing all over the place: by Snake and Turtle, the bio-swale, the patio prairie. 

​We are also looking to install a tall, 20'?, net at the south side of the sports field to end the endless cycle of searching for balls and trampling plants. Please remind any kids you see to not sit on fencing, not beat each other with sticks, not tear branches from trees and shrubs, and in all other ways be little gentlemen and women. 

Tuesday morning we will be finishing off the Mighty Acorns journal response starting after drop off. Anyone will to have a go is welcome to join us. 

Once again 8th grade will be doing garden tasks on Thursday and Friday at 1:15 p,m,. Join us to get compost moved, an arbor built and more fencing installed. 

​Mr. Leki
