Last year, with the support of the Garden Committee through the Kingston Land Trust, the children at the Everett Hodge Center started seeds to grow their own food garden. A raised bed was built and added in the front to what they had begun with the Forsyth Nature Center many years ago. The kids became familiar with ‘Kale’ and how delicious it tasted fresh out of the garden.

In 2010, the children with the help of the Rondout House in Kingston successfully placed a fence around their space. Now, the garden has an official boundary to help protect their ‘bounty’ this fall.

All involved did a beautiful job! Kudos.
