In an attempt to let everyone know who might be interested in what is going on at Mercersburg, I have started this blog. Every week now since April Mr. McGuire and others have met at the garden to plan, weed, rake, make beds and paths, and water. We have over 40 people from the school actively involved in our garden. Even if some of these are just moral supporters and have yet to get their hands in the dirt, there is a lot of interest in this garden this year. We have received several financial grants, one from the school to start the garden, one from a concert during Earth Day, and another from the EE Ford Foundation. Through these moneys we will be able to start, protect, and grow food for the community and our families. We are actively working with the dining services to provide herbs and vegetables this spring, summer, and fall. Through our process we hope to include some pictures and other things to show you what we are doing. I or someone else will let you know our progress and process every-so-often. Keep us on your list and let us know what you think!
