Free Garden Installation

One of my tenants applied for a free garden this year and had it installed in the back yard. It’s part of a county program called GIFT Gardens. If you meet the income requirement and have a place to put it, you can have one installed for free. Volunteers will come put it together for you and give you the initial supplies. After that, you just keep it watered and follow other instructions for tending it.
After this recent week of sub-freezing temps, I expected to see a lot of dead plants. As you can see, the thing is actually flourishing! I took this photo of one of the 3 box gardens, and they are all equally healthy looking. Anywy, for more information about this program, click on this link.
