_______________________________ We've broken ground! Howard Street Farm Demonstration Garden We broke ground on our 9,000 sq. ft. Demonstration Garden the week of April 10th. Shortly we will have more information up on the website, but we thought you might like to see a slideshow of the goings-on and get you excited, too! And don't forget to check our work days page as we will have much work to be done after this initial work. 
A stone road path will lead into the Garden where we will have benches in a meeting area. Different beds will show various growing techniques, such as square foot and wheelbarrow gardening, spiral beds, hoop houses. We will also have community-gardened ethnic heritage raised beds. More to come, so stay tuned. Thanks to Studio Talo Architecture for their assistance and continued commitment to making The Talking Farm a vibrant part of local food culture.

Thanks to Steven Berecz and Mark Hamilton from Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. for surveying our site and preparing preliminary grading plans to facilitate rainwater drainage.
