Grace's Place Garden

Gardening project in progress at site #1 of Grace's Place Garden. There will actually be 2 different gardening sites for Grace's Place. One will be in a fenced in area and the other gardening site will be on a vacant city lot and more open to the community. We were blessed to receive a donation of cement blocks from Wellnitz. On site #1, we are creating some raised beds constructed out of cement blocks. We anticipate the community using this garden will not be able to bend down and work in the garden as would other populations. Next up for this garden site is to add wood chips on the group around the cement blocks and of course add top soil and some type of compost to the raised bed. We used recycled cardboard as a barrier to prevent weeds.
