| Brave volunteers introduced to our bees by Dave Hinkle |
The CSM Gardens are busy, even though the last produce of the outdoor growing season has been pulled from the beds. Junior and Senior High students from Stone Creek Montessori School helped our resident gardener, “Farmer” Michael Bowen, harvest the last of the pumpkins and clean the beds. The also brought a large collection of peanut butter to help families facing food insecurity over the holidays.
Even when the beds are prepared for winter, the garden is still buzzing with the three bee hives we have in the garden. Dave and Dawn Hinkle have poured an immense amount of their time and creativity into learning and creating a bee colony for our urban garden. The bees have been happy and productive, and we are anxious to see how they fare through the winter months. We love to show them off, so feel free to ask “Farmer” Michael for a tour!
