Today I helped out with the build and installation of two coldframes* at the Filbert St. Community Garden (FSCG). Sadly my students were not able to help out today, because they are in their GED prep classes at CCYD on Fridays.
Dave Dallas, a teacher at the Curtis Bay Elementary/Middle School, Jason Reed, lead gardener at the FSCG, Katie Dix of Parks and People, and a slew of volunteers from Parks and People and Curtis Bay Elementary all helped make todays Garden Day a success!
Below are a couple of the Curtis Bay Elm./Middle students fastening a cold frame into place. They were the last two of about 12 kids who helped to reassemble the coldframes that Jason, Dallas and I had constructed in the Building Trades Program Office.
*cold frames are "mini-green houses" that gardeners place over their plots to lengthen the growing season into some of the cold months. Ours were designed to be broken down and stored prior to the warmer months.
Sorry for the grainiess of some of the photos.
