Daisies in Bloom...

To earning an offical badge (!), the Girl Scouts (Daisies) of South Carolina - Mountains to Midlands came out to the garden site on April 8th and got a tour of the future community garden. In addition, they made alphabet garden markers, so garders could differentiate between plots. The markers turned out to be absoutley adorable and the girls had a blast.

Lost pictures/post from Construction Day

This post is somewhat out of order, but does not go without mentioning all of the hard work that was put into building the raised beds and work tables. After much patience and lots of teamwork, Leadership Greenville Class 35 and Bon Secours St. Francis joined together on Saturday, March 21st to build the raised beds for the garden thanks to lumber donated by Lowe's. Soil was also purchased and the team filled the beds with soil. Needless to say, it was a very productive Saturday!

Garden Blessing, February 7th

The St. Francis Community Garden "Celebration" day was held on February 7th, which brought Leadership Greenville Class 35, St. Francis and many community residents, leaders and stakeholders together to recognize and bless the garden in it's impending development. The weather could not haev been more beautiful and the message of community engagement was very well-received. Thanks you to all of you who attended and to those who applied for a plot.
