Watch our Garden Grow!

On Earth Day (April 22), dozens of kids and adults gathered to make nature-friendly birdfeeders out of pinecones, learn about recycling and to help plant a small vegetable garden and herb garden on the library's terrace.

In addition to flowers, we planted 2 types of tomatoes, several types of mint, yellow squash, strawberries, hot peppers, spinach, dill, parsley, onions, radishes, basil and cilantro.

The veggies will be used to make snacks such as salsa for our youth programming.

Afterward, everyone enjoyed fresh fruit and veggie trays and took home starter plants for their own gardens.

All materials were either recycled or donated from patrons or businesses.

We want to thank the Friends of the Library, Ranger Charles Shelton, Pacific Mulch, Mimi Spivey, Daniel Orr and Edna Hargrove for their donations!
