Our garden beds have been rebuilt -- 11-year old rotted wood has been replaced with composite that should last a long, long time! Garlic and peas are up, and our perennial wildflower bed is looking colorful and beautiful!

We're back at work in Penn State Shenango's community garden for our 12th growing season! We already have lettuce, radishes, garlic and pea plants popping up.

Penn State Shenango's community garden 11th growing season has begun, with help from our volunteers! We planted the garden yesterday and have a variety of tomatoes & peppers growing, along with eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, beans, basil, garlic and dill. We look forward to watching our garden grow throughout the summer!

Huge thanks to Cottage Gardens Inc. for generously donating a load of mushroom compost for our beds! Thanks also to the volunteers who helped to load the compost onto the beds and mix it in as we prepare to plant the beds for our 11th growing season!

The warm weather we've been having means that our campus community garden has continued to produce. Check out all of the veggies we donated to the Community Food Warehouse this week, including peppers, tomatoes, purple tomatillos (!), Jedi jalapenos (!!), and....asparagus beans (!?!). We have donated over 300 lbs. of vegetables from the garden so far this year.

One of our nursing professors, Amy Higgins, recently helped with the harvesting at our community garden and took these beautiful photos. Thank you, Amy!
