Spring is almost here

It's time to start sending that positive energy to the garden.  We have some new and exciting things happening in the garden this season.  Deb Buria-Falkowski is going to help make our garden more bird friendly.  Watch for some feeding stations to be installed, and compare your bird sightings to the Mesabi master list provided by Deb, which is posted above. 

 Also, Mesabi is offering a new class called Plants and Society.  Expect to see students in the garden next fall.   The plantings this summer will be influenced by the curriculum of the new plant class.  

Earthfest is on April 22, and we will be participating by presenting on backyard herbs.  Environmental Science students will be starting seeds soon.  Through donations, we have some extra seeds. If anyone needs some or knows someone who can use some, please contact Kim Giermann at k.giermann@mesabirange.edu.
