Project Summary: On Monday, June 20th, 9 youth and 1 adult from the Boys and Girls Club of Weld County came out the Poudre Learning Center to help weed their demonstration garden. The weeds were thick, and the garden needed a lot of attention. They also put mulch around all the plants, both for a nice aesthetic, and to keep moisture locked in.
Successes and Challenges: The weather turned out to be pretty nice -- a nice overcast that kept the heat down. There is no shade at PLC, so summer projects can be a challenge.
Lessons Learned: Working in the demonstration garden was rewarding -- the difference the kids made was visible, so there was instant gratification.
Special Notes:
Stewardship Education: Provided by PLC staff. Talked about the garden, and it's importance and native plants.
