Scouts Finish Hand-Rails!

2/21/2017

8 Comments

 
Joey Higgins and several other Scouts finished installing the top section of the hand-rails on the two stairways behind the rock wall as part of Joey's final project to become an Eagle Scout. They look fantastic! Thank you to these Scouts for doing a great job. It looks so handsome and professional and will help pedestrians as they go up the hill!

Saving "Private Soil": The Garden's Most Critical Soldier

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Marian Woodard taught the all-important "soils class" last Saturday, as part of the 8-part permaculture series now in session. Healthy soil and composting are crucial to the success of your garden. The buckets on the table are for cultivating worm castings! To register for the remaining 5 classes (individually, at $35 apiece), go to www.sustainablecoco.org

Fruit Tree Workshop

2/16/2017

1 Comment

 
We had 15 people at the fruit tree workshop today! Expert Helen Erickson taught us all about how to plant and maintain fruit trees and even berries, too! Below are a few pics, along with some shots of foliage at the ranch. Springtime is so pretty here! Denise and her grandson Josh planted some flowers in front of the signs, and we will be putting in gravel and pebbles on the pathway leading up the hill for better access. Trellises now hide the electrical boxes by the kitchen door (with jasmine coverage eventually!), and the railings will be getting handles from Eagle Scouts soon as well. Oh, and the split-rail fences will continue to be replaced through an Eagle Scout project, too. Lots of changes!
