The FCC Gardeners are Hard at Work
.
At almost any time of day you will see gardeners hard at work at the First Christian Church Community Garden. Almost all of the approximately 12x12 square foot plots have been planted with vegetables, while one plot worked by the Hudspeth family and youth group is entirely given over to annual flowers: it will be a spectacular cutting garden!
.
Kari Keever and her mom, Mary, can be seen early and late working their plot. Kari continues to double as both gardener and Community Garden Manager. Kari is presently refining her gardening skills and learning new techniques by interning one day a week at Fiddlehead Farm, an organic operation out on Cisco Road. "It's a lot of work," Kari says. "But I am really having fun."
.
So far, corn, sunflowers, okra, several varieties of tomatoes and peppers, and lots of broccoli and cauliflower is in the ground. Visitors are encouraged to both come and see the garden...and to walk on the treads...not the beds!
