Spring Visions

As winter fades, the tulips rise — spring is officially in session. – Nathan

This purple flower reminds us of the spring, the good weather and the pretty flowers that bloom in this period.

It invites us to lie in the grass. – Léa

Spring is coming! Rose Mary is blooming, hurry to enjoy the smell and the beauty of the garden! – Thibaut

« The hot colors of this tulip make a contrast with the sad shades of winter. Life emerges from its sleep. » – Hugo

Little bells looking forward to Easter! – Félix

« Little spots of color enjoy the benefits of shadow in the heat. » – Inès

This is a photo of a rosemary, a plant that hides its true power in its leaves. Its spike-like leaves reveal their true smell if you press it in your hands. This secret made me choose this plant. Photo and caption by Thibaut

Early Spring Frenzy

Our WAWWE class got started on some observations, cleaning, planting, and generally enjoying each other’s presence and the lovely weather outside. We got a bit dirty, planted peonies, sage and mint, learned tool vocabulary and purposed and got some seeds planted for summer. Oh, and dug up piles of dandelions before they take over the universe.

Teamwork

This team and others have managed to draw the garden back to its former beauty and appeal. After a lot of scratches, nettle stings and general dirty fatigue, this crew incorporated last year’s Meunier dorm compost (thanks!) into the soil and got in some onions, radishes, lettuce and more. Nothing like teamwork to get the job done.

One last dig

Our school year is drawing to a close and we’re probably having one last dig with the students before everyone leaves on their internships. There was more potato hilling, border repair and onion and rhubarb distribution. We hope to see everyone again in the fall.

And it was a sunny day fo r it.

I chose this picture that shows a square of dense greenery. I think this illustrates how nature is able to produce a lot by itself. It is an example of what emerges from human inaction. It surely looks like a mess from the outside but is a complex and sustainable ecosystem if we look at it carefully. This might be an interesting thought: from inaction a lot can grow whereas our hands can easily destroy what was alive and well before. Thoughts and photo by Théo.

Spring planting

After a long winter of hardy cooking waste, the Develop’ponts composters are now full. Lorraine has added more straw to dry it out and hopefully finish off the process for us to use the compost by early summer. They will be setting up a new one in the next weeks.

Our Wednesday class decided to get a bit of early planting going before the March rain showers. It’s probably still too cold for the seeds to sprout, but we were excited to be rid of winter and imagine that spring is here. The calendar says so, anyway…

Spring planting

The We Are What We Eat students got our beans, potatoes and artichoke plants in the ground today after recovering the garden from the waist-high weeds. (Thanks ID Vert). It also gave me the occasion to explain the difference between weeds and weed, especially when someone confused the fake strawberry plants for the latter. It appears that no one had any fun at all (or maybe just a little…)
