Tequesquite Community Garden

PLANNING FOR THE TEQUESQUITE COMMUNITY GARDEN BEGINS

The planning team for the Tequesquite Community Garden officially began to meet in November 2011. 

The 1.12-acre garden will be part of the City of Riverside's Tequesquite Park, scheduled to begin development in January 2012. 

The success of the garden will depend on the broad-based support of the community and the wider the community, the more likely it will succeed.

Backyard Transformation, Part 3

Well, I have not kept up with this very well. My intentions were to show step-by-step what we did to transform our yard from "dirt and weeds" to "soil and vegetables". That didn't happen. Between getting married, getting a new dog, "old house to-do stuff", and passing my Ph.D. qualifying exam, there has been no time for anything.

 

So, here's what we've done: built 9 planting beds with redwood. I'm a huge fan of the "double-dig". It's a lot of work right away but overtime is…
