If you haven't had a chance to get to downtown Reno and take a look at the new West Street Market demo garden here are some pics of the beds at the end of planting day. It's been a couple of weeks since the beds were planted out and, a few plant loses aside, the beds are in great shape filled with crops and plants that grow well in Nevada. Local residents love "their" new garden and look forward to harvesting some seriously local food. The Karen Craig with the City of Reno and Leslie Allen of the Nevada Cooperative Extension were the guiding forces behind the garden. And a big "Wow!" to the TMPermaculture group, Local Food System Network, EnAct (UNR student group), Master Gardeners, area residents who dropped by to help out, Downtown Market and Silver Peak who fed the hungry and thristy group, Ross Manor for encouragement and access to a water hose, and everyone else who contributed to this fantastic project.
Life is good!
