August Garden Update

Shelley Dresser, the Eaglebrook Sustainability Coordinator, helps the school maintain a garden near Uppvall field. She has been working on it all summer and she recently sent in the following update.

The Eaglebrook Garden has been reasonably productive this year. The popcorn looks terrific and so do the kale and tomatillos. Unfortunately, we experienced a tomato blight this season and lost most of our tomatoes, but as you can see from the pictures many of our other crops are flourishing. The herb gardens, built by the Third Formers last spring, are beautiful and overflowing with tasty herbs. The blueberry bushes have been full of berries this year, and we look forward to picking apples in September.

See some photos from the garden here, and learn more about sustainbility at Eaglebrook at www.eaglebrook.org/sustainability.
