These two rows of path between the berries at the Port Townsend High School Garden represent the work of 4 people for 1.5 hrs., with 5 loads of mulch per row. The garden has 10,000SF and swarms on Fridays with well organized and enthusiastic first year high school students: mulching, seeding, planting, weeding and doing all the things that make this garden so productive for the schools and donate surplus to the PT Foodbank. It is all about sharing knowledge, a lot of laughing, and teamwork.

Planting our the pollinator garden on the hill with a newly mulched path keeping weeds from the garden.

New lettuce starts get ready to get in line...
