Friday was Arbor Day and Cleveland State Community College had an event where Mr. John Nestle of Chattanooga spoke about pruning and Cleveland’s Urban Forester, Mr. Dan Hartman, gave a tree walk (yea Suzanne!)

CSCC-The people who make things happen are socializing.

The wonderful Saint Herbert Lackey turned the soil at the land with his tractor yesterday. How perfect it is that he is a farmer and 40year retired principle?

In the tractor with Saint Lackey and David... soil turn soon.

Earthworm! Happy Soil!

Plowing the Land

Beautiful.

Last Saturday, Graceworks, a church on the hill above McKay’s in Chattanooga, laid 15 4′x15′ raised beds for their community garden. My friend, Ryan Austin, and I were able to help out. Lee Business Student, Ms Stephanie, came as well.

Ryan, Stephanie, Larry and others smooth out donated soil.

look at this- I like the cross- food for people will come.

I saw seeds germinating yesterday as well! What a day I had.

Heirloom Tomatoes Grow! Thanks LuAnn, BCHS and FFA.

The East Street Community Garden is having an organizational meeting on Saturday and The Greenway Table has a steering committee on Tuesday. We are working on some Rotary Grants that will potentially help with start up generals, a summer camp and fall curriculum connections.

Endless thanks and praise to God.
