Lucas has been working like crazy in order to get the Shire ready for the coming growing season. The seeds are on their way and the soil is just waiting in anticipation. During my time home for the holidays I was able to help begin the greenhouse construction — and now it has been covered and is maintaining 95 degrees. The trailer shown here will be positioned on the lower acres of the garden near the bike trail and will contain all the veggies that are for sale and pick-up. Luke has also made a lot of connections recently with the folks he wishes to bring into his vision of the garden as a place for learning, sharing and gathering. Some events in the works include dinners to be hosted by ShireCSA, serving food grown only feet away, featuring speakers presenting on a wide range of green topics. More to come in the future…
