People "Pocket" taking shape

Also last week, we started to form the landscaping system for the community gathering area just east of the garden plots. As you can see this area is adjacent to the large fir trees next to Bender Field.

When this is finished, envision having bright yellow, orange and green ornamental bamboo perched upon this raised bed. It will provide a mixture of colors, textures and moderate enclosure for folks wanting to sit around a barbecue or free-standing fire pit.

It will be a great place to just rest from all your weary, back-breaking, blister-forming garden tending. Ha. Or just an excuse to hang out with other good folk and chat.

I hope to add more height to the raised area. This will effectively contain bamboo rhizomes, and thus limit their venturing beyond limits. More on that later.



Peace.
