We officially completed the first of four community compost station builds!

These compost stations will be installed at four community garden locations where residents will be able to compost, learn about the composting process, access finished compost, and gain hands-on experience with proper compost usage in gardening.

A huge thank you to Cairn Recovery Resources LLC for building the compost station at our Maple-Harding Garden. We appreciate your support in helping us expand sustainable gardening and environmental education opportunities within the community!

We completed the first Fast Track to Farming training in partnership with Central State University Extension!

Denise led an informative hands-on session focused on transplanting, trellising techniques, and knot tying for the garden. Participants learned about proper transplanting practices, different trellising methods, which plants benefit from trellising, the importance of plant support, and practical knot-tying techniques used in the field. The training also included live demonstrations and opportunities for participants to practice the skills themselves.

Thank you to Denise with Central State Extension for sharing their knowledge and helping build gardening and farming skills within our community!

A huge thank you to the Maysville Woodshop Program for building 6 raised beds for our Maple-Harding Garden!

At this community garden location, local residents are able to reserve raised beds completely free of charge to grow their own fresh produce.

The Maysville Woodshop students went above and beyond by customizing the beds with engraved wooden plates showing who built them and where they were made. Crafted from cherry and maple on their CNC machine, the finished product turned out absolutely amazing.

We are so grateful for their craftsmanship, creativity, and support of community gardening and food access!
