RCS Giving Garden: April 2010

THE GARDEN STORY

Retail Construction Services, Inc. is dedicated to giving back.

We give back not only to those in need within our community, but also the future generations of this wonderful community. What started out as a great idea has grown exponentially and became an amazing reality. Here at the RCS Giving Garden, school groups, master gardeners, corporate volunteers, and our own employees work together for the common good of teaching children the art of gardening and the importance of healthy eating.

Krueger's Christmas Tree Farm Awakens the RCS Giving Garden

Deb and Neil Krueger from Krueger's Christmas Tree Farm came out to awaken the RCS Giving Garden this morning! They did an inital tilling and will be returning to till in the compost donated by Future Farms, and a third time just before planting. We can't thank them enough for their generous donation of equipment, time and talent. Not only are they great neighbors, but two of the sweetest people to grace our garden. Thank you Deb and Neil!

SPIN Kids Seeds take Sprout!

We received a photo update from the SPIN kids, and their broccoli and cauliflower seeds have taken root and sprouted! They will be thinning these and when ready, will help with transplanting. Sounds like the kids will be back in the garden on Friday morning's this summer, and once again we will be excited to hear over the loud speaker in the office... "The bus is here!"

The garden plan that the ALC High School students put together will be posted later this week, along with more exciting information on other schools and companies that will be joining us in the garden for 2010!
