Welcome! This blog follows the building, cultivating, and harvesting of the Lakewood Elementary schoolyard garden in St. Petersburg, Florida. Since January 2009, the Edible Peace Patch Project has been developing innovative community-oriented food system and nutrition educational programs in south St. Petersburg, Florida. Lakewood Elementary is the 1st school to participate in our Garden Education Program!

Sweetwater Organic Farm
Today was a longer and tiring day. We took a day off from working at the elementary school and instead volunteered at Sweetwater Organic Farm in Tampa. We helped them out with weeding and planting lettuce, I think they were happy to have so many hands helping. We worked for a good chunk of time, starting around 9 and ending around 12:15, so we were able to get a decent amount done for them. In exchange for our work they donated a truckload of composted soil, which will be so helpful to the garden. Thanks, Sweetwater!
On Monday we'll be picking up the soil and laying it in the beds.
