Garden gives inmates a reason to care

If you think about a prison meal, fresh squash, tomatoes and cantaloupe are probably not what springs to mind.

At Piedmont Correctional Institution, however, these items make frequent appearances on the summer menu, and that’s thanks to a beautiful garden and the dedication of maintenance staff and a group of trusted inmates of the minimum security unit who plant and tend to it.

If you’ve driven much on U.S. 29 between Salisbury and China Grove in the last dozen years or so, you’ve surely noticed a large, manicured patch of dirt sitting on the edge of the correctional facility, next to a stand of towering loblolly pines.

The garden was begun by Mike Baker, part of the facility’s maintenance staff. He’s been with the prison for 30 years and says he can’t remember exactly when he started the garden. Some people estimate that it was about 15 years ago.

“We had all that ground down there,” Baker said. “I got tired of mowing it.”

beshirthappy For almost a year now, residents of downtown Fort Lauderdale's Flagler Village neighborhood chipped in their time and money on a community garden occupying a once-scrubby scrap of land. They built raised planter boxes and bamboo fences and just put in a new water line. They grew eggplant and broccoli and herbs -- bushels of fruits and vegetables to show for their weekly labor.

Here's the latest word from gardeners in the slug wars
Bangor Daily News (blog) - Feb 22, 2012
We pick ripe strawberries free of slug bites, but the berries are in full view of every crow and jay perched on a garden fence post. So go the slug wars. Weapons in the arsenal are numerous and varied, but the gardener wins skirmishes at best.
