I want to say that this will be the weekend I finish planting the #FourSisters garden. The squash got a little beaten up from the rain (but I have more to plant), but the Hopi Blue corn is still there! The Sweet Potato plant might have to go though. We'll see...The container potatoes greening out, and I just picked up more seed onions for containers as well. The Community Gardeners are into doing a plant swap -- it will be nice to share with others. Our 3-season porch is pretty much a greenhouse, and I'd like to turn it back into a library again (with a few hanging plants).

'Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, deerit nihil."

"If you have a garden and a library, you will need nothing else." - Marcus Tullius #Cicero (my translation).

Growing library garden programs

WebJunction / 01 May 2024

"Library gardens offer a great way for community members to come together to learn, grow, and contribute towards a healthy, balanced environment. And creating a vibrant community green space or gardening program doesn’t have to be complicated. Across the country—and beyond—libraries are growing gardening programs in their own unique ways. As you explore some of the gardens and programs here, you’ll notice that community partnerships represent a common thread running throughout all of the programs. Local businesses, master gardening groups, arts organizations, and community government can all play important roles in growing a successful library garden program."

Local businesses, master gardening groups, arts organizations, and community government can all play important roles in growing a successful library garden program. The Read & Feed Community Garden (Michigan) grew from a partnership between Harrison District Library and H&R Block, which donates land and water for the garden. Community members can “check out” their own plot, and excess produce is donated to the Stone Soup Project.
