Spring!

The garden's certainly starting to shape up now that it's Spring...

Our strawberries are starting to flower.

The kale & chard bed's doing nicely, too.

 We're getting visits from out local pollinators...

...and here is the newly hung sign!

One more thing: on Thursday, May 31st, we'll be holding our first annual Vancouver School Garden Picnic! It's at 3:45 right here in the garden, and all are welcome!  We'll have photos from the event up soon after.

Herb Patch + City Farmer

On Thursday, we planted some more seeds in our herb patch: cilantro and parsley.  We'll transplant the basil plants soon.

Our chives are pretty healthy as well...

As is all of our kale!

Some of us also took a tour of City Farmer, a demo garden on the corner of Maple and 6th.  I've included a link to the entire photo album below (we took quite a few photos).  We also got some great ideas for planting, composting, watering, and much more!  If you ever find yourself near the demo garden, be sure to drop by for a visit, it's highly recommended!

New Season, New Soil

Last Thursday, the club worked to prep the garden for the Spring. Working with some brand new soil we purchased, we finally filled and evened out the remaining empty beds. We'll be planting some new plants soon!

We also re-staked the apple trees and transplanted our raspberry bushes beside a fence. We had a group of observers all the while:
