Thomas Jefferson Middle School Community Garden

Thanks to the group of JMU alumni who came out to help us mulch the garden this morning. We got so much work done!

The first tomatoes of the year are coming along great.

Butterfly w**d and sun drops glowing in the pollinator garden. What’s growing in your yard right now?

Join us and local JMU alumni in the garden from 9-noon as we mulch our pathways to prepare for summer.

Garden club harvested onions to donate to AFAC, and we picked our first beer of the season during last Saturday’s workday.

The weather forecast looks perfect, and the garden grew about 12” last week with all the rain. Can’t wait to get back out in the dirt with all our community volunteers from 10-noon Saturday morning.

Some of the native plants growing in our pollinator garden this week.

We’ve finally broken the drought, yay! But it will be too rainy in the garden for a workday tomorrow (boo). See you next week instead!

Fava beans, tomato plants, and volunteers, oh my! Thank you to everyone who came out to work in the garden with us last week, especially our new volunteers who joined us via Saturdays in the Garden program. We hope to see you back in the garden in the future! (Not this Saturday, though, we are cancelling due to rain.)
