Since Saturday, February 5th 2011, the Escalante Community Garden Team has been working endlessly to create our garden. Here are some pictures from our build day last Saturday, May 7th...

| Tina planting a little love |
 |
| A group of ECG volunteers planting some flowers in a grow tube before the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony this Saturday. Click here for some more information on grow tubes. |
 |
| Carla planting beautiful herb/flower pots. Container gardens are an easy, inexpensive way to beautify your garden! |
 |
| Pam giving our lettuce some much appreciated H2O |
 |
| Luke doing a great job watering our flowers |
 |
| Gretchen and Dario working on creating a beautiful water feature. To protect our water system, we constructed a cage to place around the spiget and filled the cage with river rock. It looks stunning and will be great protection for our irrigation system! |
 |
| Beth and Luke found this beautiful snail while gardening on Saturday! We enjoyed the snails company for a while and then relocated the snail to another area. Click here for more information on managing snails and slugs in a garden. |
 |
| The tomatoes are growing wonderfully in our salsa garden. To grow your own salsa garden, just plant tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, and a variety of peppers in a designated area and voilà... You've got yourself all of the ingredients for some delicious, homegrown salsa! |
