YAP 2014 at Smokey House

The 2014 Summer Work&Learn program is up and running at TTC at Smokey House.  During our first days the crew attacked the weeds in the garden, transplanted seedlings, pulled wild (aka “poison”) parsnip, and learned about mulch and compost.

Part of the orientation was learning how to take data from the weather station, with guidance from Smokey House Center director Jesse Pyles.

We also harvested mixed greens and made a delicious herbal vinaigrette for our first kitchen project.  

We have a group of hard workers under the leadership of Kevin Keeler, and we look forward to a busy and productive summer.
