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!

Lakewood Begins!
Today was the first step toward our Edible Peace Patch! In the morning a few students got together to head up to Saddle Up stables to collect some really important manure for the garden! It was a tedious and tiring task that was to say the least, the poop. The unloading was great and it really brought out some new ideas for the garden once back to see how much work we have to do. Weeding and mowing the grassy areas around the garden are in dire need. Some serious housecleaning will be in order this semester to pull the garden back to work.
