Gardening + Class

So it's very exciting that the garden's set up! This Thursday we're going to have a quick class on the basics of vegetable gardening in Central Texas. Anyone can come whether or not they have a plot at the garden.

what: gardening + class

where: UT community garden, 2108 Concho St. 

when: Thursday March 3, 4-6 PM

We'll have all the supplies. And I'd like to point out that the site is easily accessible by the East Campus UT Shuttle, which connects well with the Forty Acres and West Campus shuttles.

Hope you can make it!

Workday 3!

Thanks to everyone who came and helped out! Now we've got compost bins, complete pathways, some new beds, and some plants started! The garden is now complete in its basic form- stayed tuned for more opportunities! We'll be announcing regular meeting times soon. 

Workday 3

Come help out at our third workday at the UT Community Garden! We'll be continuing to lay the mulch pathways, building compost bins, and landscaping. This is probably going to be our last "big" workday, cause the garden's just about finished being set up!

Successful first workday!

We're off to a good start! Thanks to everyone who volunteered today! We got A LOT accomplished. All the raised beds are built, placed, leveled, and filled with soil! We also planted 5 fruit trees- gala apple (2), plum, peach, asian pear. 

Endless thanks to Larry Maginnis from UT Landscaping, Jim Walker- UT's Sustainability Director, and Karen Blaney- the Campus Environmental Center's advisor, for all their help!
