David Kejick School

The goal of our garden project is to revitalize the old community garden and make it vibrant and productive again. Because of the size of the garden and the clay-based ground it sits on, we would like to build garden beds to house the plants. This would provide a better source of nutrients and a nicer base for the plants. As well, it would make it much easier to weed, as the existing garden is huge. We have quite a few community members that are interested in gardening, and many of them volunteer their time during the summer to help with the care and the upkeep of the garden. The community garden will be open during daytime hours for anyone in the community who wishes to harvest our produce, or wishes to develop their own garden bed. This gives all community members access to fresh vegetables, something that is not always available,especially for those who do not have a means of getting to town on a regular basis. All remaining produce will be used in DKS's hot lunch program. This program is supported by .
