A 'virtuel army' showed up for the school garden work party

18.05.12

More than 50 men, women, kids and even dogs spent Saturday digging, pulling, turning, de-rocking, chopping blackberry bushes, setting posts, making scratch pizza, and sweating for the school garden...and the outcome was enlightening, dazzling, gratifying, enormous, delicious, beautiful and unbelievable. There just aren’t enough words to describe this incredible outpouring of energy and love for our public school garden. Volunteerism is certainly alive and well on Orcas Island.

Those who poured their heart and soul into the project know who they are, but I’ll try to mention a few in this limited space. This is the dream of Chelsea Cates, the Farm to Cafeteria school garden keeper who wants to turn it into an area of growth … not only of the plant kind, but of the human kind. She envisions a garden that will ultimately include an outdoor classroom, weather station, water catchment system, drying shed, a huge new area to grow food and herbs for the school cafeteria, a topiary, edible flower garden, and multiple themed mini-gardens...all under and around the graceful and watchful limbs of the beloved maple tree. Last fall, with her enthusiasm, drive and just plain cuteness, she got the approval of the School Board and started “planting the seeds” for her dream. Saturday was proof that dreams can come true.
