The Kingsley 4-H Club has decided to brave the elements and start preparing the 4-H Garden for spring planting.  Any good gardener knows you have to prepare the beds before you can plant, and Kingsley’s 4-H club members are all good gardeners. During their Monday afternoon meetings in March, core members of the club will be outside the Kingsley Family Resource Center with picks, trowels and garbage bags cleaning up the plants from the previous season.
The garden, located behind the Kingsley Family Resource Center, already has a viable strawberry patch. Tomatoes, lettuce, radishes and herbs have been grown previous years along with a variety of beans and herbs. “We hope the community will respect our garden and not let pets and younger children run through it,” emphasized Carlos M., Kingsley 4-H Club president.  The garden will be part of the 4-H Curriculum throughout the spring and summer.
