The November 7th volunteer work day in the college organic garden was a smashing success! Over twenty volunteers joined with Scott Abla, College Arborist, and Julian Sharp, Manager of Volunteer Work, to clear brush, remove invasive species, save and relocate trees, and winterize the grounds so that volunteers can grow fruits and vegetables this coming spring and summer. The garden has taken many forms over the past few decades, at times providing healthy food for parts of campus. Recently it has become overgrown due to a lack of upkeep, however, the soil is rich and provides the opportunity to grow various fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
