Our Corner Garden

Our corner garden is sleeping right now. It’s hard to imagine, but very soon our 5th grade class—along with the much-anticipated springtime sunshine, air, and rain—will transform this space into something colorful and beautiful. Try to picture what we have in mind…

The lower level will feature all kinds of sweet peppers, surrounded by various perennials that are returning from last year. The upper level will also be packed with colorful peppers, but these ones will be hot—perfect for adding some spice to recipes for our neighbors.

Our middle level is where the color should really pop! Alongside the already existing Jerusalem artichoke, iris, and lavender, we will be filling the entire level with all sorts of zinnias in a variety of shades and sizes. These will, hopefully, attract both the eye and neighborhood birds.

As you can see, we’ve got some big things ahead for this space. Stay tuned to follow along and check out our progress!
