Day 1: Groundbreaking




Hey everyone,

It's been a historic day here at the garden as ground was literally broken for the first time. The plot was plowed and tilled, and finally looks like a place where a garden can be as opposed to a grassy field. We were joined by Lyle Roelofs, John Pumilio, Chris Henke, Ian Helfant, and Barbara Brooks to witness this momentous occasion. Tomorrow we have a full day ahead of us, as we are in the process of choosing our consultant and are meeting with potential candidates. We also have sketched out a few potential layouts for the garden and are planning on meeting with the Advisory Committee Monday for suggestions.

We will have more to share in the coming days as we are moving full speed ahead with planning and logistics. We hope to fence the garden, finalize the layout, and get plants in the ground in the coming weeks.

Be sure to check out our pictures from today and stay posted throughout the summer!

Rob and Stacey
