The Borrowed Garden

*Garden #4 in a series about local gardens. Click here for the Hip Garden, here for the Serving Time Garden, and here for the Well-Tended Garden.

Gardeners: the BYU Eco-Response Club
Size: 1/4 of an acre
Location: just off Center Street on the way to Utah Lake

(The Eco-response club helped w/our strawbale greenhouse)

These apartment dwelling students wanted a garden. So they borrowed some land from a generous local farmer named Shery Goodman. Shery owns Sunspring Ranch. Most of the students ride their bikes to get there.

Once you arrive you must greeeeeet the noisy goats. Theeeeey love it!

Here's the garden at dusk, which is appropriate since these busy students have to squeeze gardening time into their schedules. You go when you can, even when the light is fading fast.
Here's Chandler with some of the produce they grew.

Note: food chaos reigned for a long while but these pumpkins and squashes have all cured and are now settled in the cellar.

pre-election tension

halloween.
seriously, our Harold & Maude costumes would have been much more convincing if Maude weren't so wound up about the elections. (though i did offer to force myself into channeling Maude by stealing a convertible...)

thinking ahead

don't miss this:the Beehive Bazaar is MAGICAL

equals the happiest shopping around.
