MGGNO Field Trip

Who are the MGGNO, and why would we travel all the way to Uptown to meet them? They are the Master Gardeners of Greater New Orleans, and they have a wealth of knowledge about gardening. They were so polite and patient as Clarissa, Rebecca, and I asked question after question. Now we are armed with knowledge about composting and gardening in this unique climate.

Composting is easy as 1, 2, 3! 

Master Gardener, Bendy, is explaining the details about composting.
We hope to create a system similar to this one for our community garden. 

The beginning stages of the compost pile.

Creating what gardeners call, Black Gold!

about starting from seed or cuttings.

Beautiful and healthy seedings!
