SPRING HAS ARRIVED!

With the arrival of warm temperatures and spring rain showers, Grove City Community Garden is also waking up from the long winter and preparing for the 2013 "growing" season!  6th grade Science students from Grove City Middle School are investigating composting and organic gardening methods.  GCMS Art Club students contribute their creative talents to the Garden program by making garden patch markers that will add vibrant color and assist volunteers as they maintain the garden patches!   Mrs. Vechnak's class at Hillview Intermediate will be planting a "Flutterby" butterfly garden in their patch, and their amazing butterfly garden mural graces the hallway near their classroom.  

ALL twelve ADOPT-A-PATCH beds were 'adopted' long before April 15th!  Girl Scout troops, pre-school children, senior citizens and local families will care for their individual garden patches through this collaborative program.   We look forward to sharing more about their experiences during the 2013 season!  

Friends from the community are invited to visit the Garden site on June 1st from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.   The Grand Garden Gathering will kick-off the 2013 season and we'll have some special guests and events help you learn more about the Garden programs.   Keep watching the blog for more details about the Gathering and other programs/events during 2013.
