This area near the sign was not all we planted. Next time you’re near the Community Center, stop and check out the terraced slope at the south end of the building. Dwarf fruit and nut trees, grasses, perennials, and even a few nasturtiums were planted and will be filling out to be an incredibly beautiful Permaculture garden. A seed harvesting class will be held in the fall, and next year these plants will provide more plants for new beds in other areas of our community. Nature is renewing and recycling and we are helping her!

 

(The Community Center is part of the Green Monona Tour on June 14. See the listing under Events.)
