First Phase of Victory Garden Done

The construction of the raised bed for the Victory Garden at City Hall couldn’t have been on a better day. Under sunny skies, volunteers of the garden committee of the Kingston Land Trust prepared the bed, installed cedar logs and mixed topsoil with manure and compost to ready the site.

Rebecca Martin, director of the Kingston Land Trust and chair of the garden committee, said the design of the garden is perfect for the “Three Sisters” theme of corn, squash and beans being planted.

Some of the folks who pitched in, included: Allyson Levy, of Hortus Conclusus (www.hortus.biz);  Jesica Pascual, of Phillies Bridge Farm; Hugh Cummings, of Hugh-name-it Builders; Steve Noble, chairman of the Kingston Land Trust; Arthur Zaczkiewicz, executive director of the Kingston Land Trust; Rebecca Martin, director at the Kingston Land Trust and founder of KingstonCitizens.org; Jennifer McKinley, president of Kingstion Natural Foods Buying Club; Kevin and Barbara McEvoy; and Julie and Sean Griffin; among several others. Special thanks to Adam’s Fairacre Farms for donating soil and compost.

Here are some photos of the day’s work:
