What's going on in the Central Library Vegetable Garden?
As author Michael Shermer wrote, "Human history is highly nonlinear and unpredictable," and we have to add, so is gardening! We're still working to clear the liriope from our garden bed - after we thought we'd removed it all on March 27, the solarization with plastic sheeting unfortunately encouraged more growth.
** Updated 4/21 - due to rain today's planned work has been postponed - check back here for more details**
This Wednesday morning, April 21, will see more work by AFAC from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m., and Wednesday evening Girl Scout Troop 1431 will plant the tubs. Seeds donated by the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company and the Goodwin Library will be available for Library Patrons - one package per family - during those times.
If you're interested in helping out in the garden, please contact Puwen Lee at [email protected] or call 703-845-8486.
