The YMCA summer Odyssey group

Bookmark and Share

During this summer a group of children joined Melissa and Adam in the garden for planting, tasting and well.....lots of weeding. There was an average of 300 kids once a week. We were amazed at the work these children accomplished. We watched the plants grow and the vegetables ripen. With this being the first season for the garden there was a lot of learning. This fall that will continue. We are learning what the soil is like, what grows well-where and most of all people are slowly developing a sense of ownership. Within this YMCA group there were a few BOYD students. I look forward to seeing them this fall. Big THANKS to the YMCA for encouraging this program.
