Summer 2012 at the Highland Community Vegetable Garden: Brought to you by John

The Henry J. Kalfas Magnet School, the Highland neighborhood, and ReNU Niagara are proud to announce the opening of the Highland Community Vegetable Garden for Summer 2012. As a new Vista member for the summer I am excited to be a part of the team!

Although the temperatures have been continually warming up these past few weeks, it is safe to say with the help of the excited and wonderful children from Mount Sinai, New Jerusalem, Kalfas Elementary and Center Court our vegetable garden is doing very well. With input from the community members, we feel we have been able to plant and grow a variety of vegetables. They include: tomatoes, collards, eggplant, parsley, beets, white onions, peppers, radishes, carrots, zucchini, cabbage, and cucumbers.

During the summer there are going to be workshops held during the watering times thanks to the help of the staff from the Cornell Cooperative Extension. These workshops will range from cooking tips, healthy food and nutrition, composting and other garden focused areas.

If you are interested in helping with garden maintenance and some fun in the sun, please feel free to contact the office at 205-0287and ask for John. Or email us at johnnewcomb.renu@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you all out there this summer!!!!!
