Backyard Botany
September 3, 2012 in slide by agarcia
The Benton House garden is a resource for the Bridgeport community. We are continuing the mission of providing for the food pantry as well as offering educational opportunities. Some projects to look forward to are:
- indoor mycology
- winterizing the garden
- reconstructing the polyethylene structures to allow for late fall/early spring growing
- updating the vermiculture composting system
- starting new systems of compost
- collecting seeds
- Renewing the soil
- Supporting and reaching out to other Chicago urban agriculture projects
