In ten years, Steele’s garden has grown to be a showcase garden, with 1/3 acres, 30 plots, compost area, some raised beds, 12 fruit trees, greenhouse, garden sink, grape arbor, weather station, outdoor classroom, garden signs, worm box, and a sun dial. We are excited to use our greenhouse for the first time this year. We will soon begin our seedling plants, which will be hardened off in the greenhouse as we get closer to planting time.
