Cultivating Kids Garden 2014!

We are doing something a little different with our garden this year! Because vegetables take a lot of nutrients out of the soil, and most of our plants are grown in containers it is almost impossible to do a good crop rotation. So this year we are going to give the soil a rest by not planting vegetables at all! Instead we will be planting flowers and other ornamental plants.

We will still have Garden Days during the Summer Reading Program, but instead of harvesting vegetables we will tending the flowers and enjoying other garden related activities! More information will be available on the Summer Reading Program calendar, coming out at the end of May!
