BCC Children's Garden

Yesterday I asked the kids if they want to start a garden club to make the BCC garden their spring project. There are at least 3 kids who want to, and the first thing we'll do when we meet next week is come up with a unique name. Here are some of the "before" pictures, reflecting the past work of the now defunct 4H Club and contributions by Sustainable Ballard.


Right now there is cover crop in the beds ("containers") and three kale plants. As can be seen in this picture there are two worm bins.


There are two more raised beds like these not shown in the picture surrounded by a sea of cement. Clearly there's a lot of space, though, to work with.


Here's the pathway to the center's entrance bordered by two beds and bins, previously growing culinary herbs, tomatoes and strawberries. I'd like to see all this cement get color and art. The outside of the building is kind of boring and really needs at least one mural.
