Gardens Create A Community
Early this Spring, Bohemian Bounty and volunteers from Edible San Marcos hosted a seed starting workshop for the children who live at the C.M. Allen Housing Projects. The seeds have been flourishing in the Bohemian’s greenhouse under safe keeping since. Recently, the Bohemians joined forces again with Edible San Marcos volunteers and residents to build a fence for the garden.
Our work was cut out for us on this one. Materials were preordered and despite the mix up in the post sizing, we managed to get all the holes dug, posts in place, and fence lightly strung in one day. We also gave a few people a lesson in mixing and pouring cement, as well as leveling posts. By the end of the work day, the local kids were eager to put their plants in the ground…but that must wait for another weekend after we have tilled. Happy Gardening !
