April 16 - 22nd

Every garden needs a fence, but we don't want just any fence... we want an Art Fence!

Last year we installed fence posts along the north & east sides of the garden. This spring we will build frames between them and fill the frames with found and recycled objects.

We have plenty of frames available for interested participants to fill in.

Container Demonstration Garden

Last year we started to set up a Container Demonstration Garden at West Side Baptist Church in the concrete courtyard which faces west along Seneca. However, we got a late start and the tremendous heat last summer doomed that project from the start. Undaunted by last years set-back, we will be trying once again.

The garden is being created to demonstrate that a garden can be planted almost anywhere by almost anyone. The containers will all be raised high enough above the ground so that they may be tended from a standing or seated position. Rain barrels are being installed to capture water for irrigation. Strategically placed shade cloths will be used against the heat in late summer.
