Goat Hill Giving Garden is Growing Like Crazy

Have you gotten a chance to stop by King County’s Goat Hill Giving Garden?  It was supposed to be the site of the new jail but with plans on hold, county employees decided the time was right to put in a garden.  With wonderful soil and great sun, the plants are growing like crazy.

All the work is done by volunteers before or after work or on break times.  There is a planting, watering and harvesting crew.  So far 34 pounds of produce have been donated to the Pike Market Senior Center with lots more to come.

Recently new beds were put in by a team from King County’s GroCo to show the difference between plants grown in compost and those grown in GroCo.  Check out the difference:
