Rose2021	BeardedIris2021	Roses Our corner roses. When the evening sun from the West shines on them, they glow. All of 118 street loves them. We'd hate to disappoint and not have them there anymore.

Stenciling Workday	Stenciling Workday	Children's plot With garden funds, we built an enclosure for school groups to plant. Gardeners took care of the plants in the summer and kids could come back in fall to see their flowers & harvest their veggies. We now use it to grow food to donate to Edible School Yard and Little Sisters of the Assumption.

This is year 1 circa 2013.
Mature Winter Rye When the winter rye matures, it and the clover and hairy vetch are tilled into the soil to provide added nitrogen and other nutrients.	IMG_4861 Summer field	IMG_4862 Summer field Echinacea and Mountain Mint
