Keeping it F.R.E.S.H.

Students volunteering with the East Side Health District did some outstanding work to help get the F.R.E.S.H. (Foods Raised at East Side Health) Community Teaching Garden prepared for the inaugural season's vegetables and flowers over the weekend.

One student group built twelve raised beds in which community members will be able to plant vegetables for a source of fresh produce. A few students and two community members worked diligently to go from this...













To twelve completed beds!













Another group worked hard at preparing the soil for flower beds to mark the entry to the community garden and welcome community members inside.














This involved unearthing many interesting artifacts, including a Pepsi can from 1973, giant roots, and unwieldy chunks of concrete.




















Thanks to the students for making this work weekend a success!
