Flowers & Bok Choy Harvest!

 Today we added a little color to our planters with some pretty perennials:
        Dwarf Garden Phlox, Dianthus, Coreopis, Armeria & Sediums.






                                     The planters are already bearing fruit !
                Our first little raspberry of the season (Hopefully one of many!)
                                          We also harvested some nummy Bok Choy!

Planting Party & Our new perennials

The Mackay Planter project plants and maintains gardens right in the heart of the city; reclaiming the streets by covering the gray with green. Traditional flower planters are transformed into thriving, edible gardens.
Get involved and grow some food right beside the Hall building!

This week we planted & sowed the seeds for the season. A big thank you to all the volunteers that came out to help!

A diagram of the greens that we got in the ground:

 The Triangular Beds now have Rhubarb & Raspberries along with a variety of other goodies!
