Longfellow Students Help Plant For The 'Seed to Salad' Celebration

From The Cultural Arts Coalition' Garden Around the Corner: The garden outside the Studio Around the Corner has begun. With the students of Longview School and the help of master gardeners, Ed Illiano and Anita Conway, we planted early season plants.

Each student was given a 2x2 plot of land in which they planted a mosaic garden Plants included lettuce, spinach, carrots, peas and herbs. The produce will be used for a “Seed to Salad” celebration in late June.

As part of the "Come Grow with Us" project, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County will be running monthly classes at the studio teaching gardening methods and caring for our larger vegetable garden. The next class on May 24 will be the planting of warmer weather veggies. This program is open to the public and free.
