Garden Project: Dandelion Garden

Our first garden project is underway! We have a dandelion patch going in the garden- it's on the partly shady little slope at about your 2 o'clock position if you come in the gate just at the bottom of the stairs.

You can participate by locating baby dandelion plants and clearing some grass around them so they can grow. The grass you remove can be put in the compost bins. We need to mark it off, too, so it doesn't get run over- if you have some stakes, or want to build a rock ring around it, or have another clever idea, go for it! Please try to be cautious around them until we get them well marked.

Dandelions are a great project, because you can eat every part of them. Click here for some good details on dandelions and how you can prepare them.
