Boxing Gambling
Garden party showcases crops and dishes. by Steve Gamble
Environmental club celebrates revamped project with food grown by scholars and volunteers. Marissa Meyer, Overland Park sophomore, began volunteering with the campus garden last semester. For me, its just fun to get out here and be outside for a bit and play around in the dirt, Meyer expounded. Meyer was among about three dozen scholars and community members gathered in the shade of the general public relations building at the fringe of campus Sun. afternoon for a garden party subsidized by a group known as Environmental Action to Revitalize the Heartland. EARTH is a project of the Center for Community Outreach. Margaret Tran, Derby junior, and Maddie Fry, Topeka senior, co-directors of the gardening project, led tours of the gardens dozen types of tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables, and provided materials to color signs and rocks to adorn the garden. Six dishes were available for nibbling, featuring veg produced by the garden. Local Burger, a Lawrence cafe famous for its organic meals and local-food ethic, produced dishes made with the gardens ingredients. Aaron Olsen, Overland Park senior, was one of the gardens original founders in Fall 2005. Facilities Operations removed almost all of the playground plant from the lot, which had originally been employed by the Hilltop Childrens Nursery. Olsen and other volunteers dismantled the decks that had covered the area and used the wood to construct the maze of garden boxes that now cover the landscape. Scholars then used $500 they received from Student Senate to buy soil for the garden, which was later fortified when Facilities Operations brought in more than a lot of mulch that was refuse from trees downed by the microburst in the spring of 2006. When Olsen left to study abroad in the autumn of 2006, the garden went new and untended for 9 months, till the EARTH project adopted the area in the autumn of 2007.
When I left, I didnt just need to pass it on without someone being pumped up about it, Olsen asserted. Rob Ryan, Shawnee senior, asserted he followed Olsen into the project, and has become one of the gardens central caretakers.
Theres a core group of 5 or 6 folks who are here about 6 hours a week, Ryan recounted. Ryan asserted he got concerned basically for the pleasure of it, but also for the time out of doors. Its a large amount of fun, expounded Ryan, and I love to get my hands dirty..
