Opening Day!

Opening Day at the Huegel School Garden started with clouds, drizzle, 11 volunteers, and at least a ton of compost.

First we weeded:





Then Junior Girl Scouts from Troop 2111 arrived and built us a much needed Compost Bin!



They stayed to swing some shovels as we started to shift the ton and more of compost onto the garden beds!  They were tough!



It was a big job, especially since it had rained the night before.



Vicki Hruska works compost into the Sunflower bed.  Notice the difference in colors between the existing soil and what was delivered!


Great work!  Look how fantastic the garden looks!  It's ready for the Sunflower seeds to be planted!
