Make-a-Change Monday
Teaming up with Bill and Paul, recipients of Mayor Menino's gardening award and active community members invested in "greening" Boston, we went to the police station in Southie to spruce up its weed-infested sidewalk garden. Using cow manure, peet moss, humus, healthy soil and woodchips for water retention, we transformed a dry land plot to a vibrant garden after introducing nutrients and plants. We also eliminated weeds and watered.
"In the morning the soil was like it was from the Sahara desert, but now we are feeding it rich soil, like a gourmet meal for the plants!" - Hernan
"I pass by this police station every day on my way to school, and now I can say that my campers contributed to make it this beautiful." - Jemmie (JC)
