August 12, 2009


This is day forty-two of my research assistant role of the Youth Garden Project. Today's location was at Magnolia Nursing Home.

Morgan, Ashton, and I constructed three raised garden beds in place in the rear at Magnolia Nursing Home located in Tuskegee, Alabama. Therefore, we visited the Home to make sure the flowers and vegetables are all doing wonderfully well; they are!


Raised garden beds are great for small plots of veggies and flowers. They keep pathway weeds from your garden soil, prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage and serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails.By raising the soil level, raised beds also reduce back strain when bending over to tend the bed.
