Transitioning into the School Year

It's been forever since I last posted!! Lots have gone on since the last post. After our final round of roto tilling, we raked (when do we not?). Then we laid down cardboard. This involved sitting in a cardboard recycling dumpster for an extended period of time while making hats out of boxes. Then we acquired rocks and put those on top of the cardboard.
Then, I moved back into my dorm and college and middle school started again. Things have slowed down, but will pick up again. We are hiring someone to mulch and then we will plant most of the perennials in October.

I'm continuing to volunteer at McDougle. I went to the school last Wednesday to see what a first day was like. My coordinating teacher introduced me as the creator of the "cardboard garden" :-).

The pictures below are from Niche (where I hope to get plants) and pictures I took of the outdoor classroom on Friday when I was helping out at McDougle.
