Just stopped by the Western Watauga Branch Library/Community Center and dropped off some excess produce from Bethel School garden, Parkway School garden, and ASU Edible Schoolyard. The Quiet Givers/Western Watauga Food Outreach is a fantastic program to give seniors and needy families fresh produce every Thursday afternoon. A wonderful way to give to your community!

Our Summer at Bethel

8/11/2015

We are having a great summer season at Bethel Elementary!  The photos below show ONE DAYS WORTH of harvest of all the raised beds at Bethel. It's truly amazing. The garden at Bethel has simply blossomed and we are growing so many wonderful things. We've had plenty of excess produce that is going to the Quiet Givers' Western Watauga Food Outreach.  I am so enjoying my garden coordinator position here at Bethel.  Soon the students will be back and we can plant a fall garden, as well as have lots of fun and educational projects such as a canning workshop and cooking the harvest together.  I can't wait!

Also, the Farm Tour at the ASU Edible Schoolyard was awesome!  We didn't have a whole lot of visitors, but those who came loved the garden and I had a great time giving tours.  My ASU interns participated and did a wonderful job and the Lettuce Learn Table with the kid's activities was fantastic!  I hope there are many more local garden farm tours in the future.
