The volunteer gardeners from Trinity Homegrown Foods, known as the “Groundbreakers,” continue to offer a free vegetable garden design service that’s available to all Hayfork residents. Their most recent project was the new raised bed garden just built at Kelly Parson’s Day Care in Hayfork. Working along with parents who have their children at the day care, five 24-foot long raised beds were built and several smaller beds were modified and all were filled with amended soil in less than a day. This was very much a community project with Sunshine Gardens, Bayley’s and others making generous donations, and the Groundbreakers are proud to have been able to assist in providing these children with the experience of growing their own food.
The Groundbreakers have expertise in seed starting, appropriate local crop selection, plant nutrient needs, fence and raised-bed building, irrigation systems and pest management. In short they’re quite confident that they will be able to solve whatever problem the owner might currently have that keeps him or her from having a productive food garden. And once you have plants in the ground the Groundbreakers will be continue to be available to advise and help through to harvest time. There is still time to get them to help you put in a garden of your own this spring. Call Tom Cook at 739-3938 to schedule an appointment.
