My nana lives in St. Catherines Ontario, CA and every time I visit I learn more and more about recycling-Canada does a great job at making sure as little as possible goes to landfills.  Nana must have 6 boxes to sort her garbage and somehow they keep it all straight.

The Maplewood Community Garden is going to require that all our debris and rotten veggies be composted.  Looks like I’ll be turning the trash!  If you would like to learn more about composting you can visit this link http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/rrr/composting/

Thanks to the Township of Maplewood, I will be working with Irene Dunsavage and the Maplewood Community Garden Committee members this spring.  Ms. Dunsavage, a former Art Teacher at the Clinton School and founder of the community garden has invited me to assist her with running the childrens garden.

The children garden plot will be 10 x 5 and will feed local families in need.  Thanks to Mr. Meade of the St. James Gate Publick House and Tracy and Mark of 3r Living for their support.

There are only 2 plots available.  If you are interested in participating in the 2010 community garden, please email Ms. Dunsavage at idunsavage@comcast.net
