Calvin College Community Garden. Archive for February, 2012. In order to encourage the growth of bees at our garden, this year we are creating our own hives. Or rather, the holes for the hi. The idea for attracting bees came from This. Article. We also want to plant flowers that attract bees. Hollyhocks and lavender are just a few flowers that bees really like. We already have a lavender bush. February 14, 2012 at 7:28 am. Friends in the Community. Sparrow in the Hall. Office of Community Engagement.

Calvin College Community Garden. Archive for May, 2012. It’s a New Garden Season! It’s the end of the semester, finals are done, and there are finally a few minutes to breathe! But work at the garden is already going. A few weeks ago, we had a clean-up event to get all of the plots ready for spring. We pulled up our winter cover, rye grass, and turned it into the soil, pulled weeds from the paths, and filled our entire green bucket with weeds to compost. Here are some pictures:.

Summer Update ;) | Calvin College Community Garden

Calvin College Community Garden. Summer Update ;). August 2, 2012 at 1:17 pm. To start with, the beetles are still overwhelming. I saw about 30 Japanese beetles on the bean plants at the garden. They were all grouped together in disgu. A very kind renter provided us with this Japanese Beetle Trap. It is disgusting. The beetles fill four inches of the bag, and they are still covering out beans as well! As you can see, the transplanted mint is already growing new shoots! They’re all so wonderful! You are c...

Calvin College Community Garden. Archive for September, 2012. Garden Dinner and General Update. These are some of our beans. They’re beautiful. We’ve gotten so many this year! Ooh but they’re all hot peppers . Here’s to hoping that we get a plot load of these next year! We’ve begun to get bucket loads of tomatoes! A class at Calvin is coming to help out once a week, and they’re taking the community plot produce to a local food pantry. Their load consists mostly of tomatoes🙂. September 16, 2012 at 1:57 pm.
