Dig in to the Garden
Bonni's Garden is more than just a greenhouse
Bonni’s Garden connects our community to nature and serves as an ideal space for collaborating, growing, and learning. This beautiful, year-round greenhouse and outdoor garden supports programs on the importance and pleasure of growing and eating natural foods, and community health. As a 5B Resilience Garden, Bonni’s focuses on the health of people, pollinators, and soil alike!
Our After School Students are currently growing: Broccoli, Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Sugar Snap Peas, Bok choy, Kale, Butter Lettuce, Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, Wheatgrass, and Seasonal Flowers.
And are studying: Vermiculture, Pollinators, Hydroponics, Local Trout and River Ecology and Agriculture.
We don't just raise plants!
In our Greenhouse and around the Y you will find:
1 resident trout (say hi to Boots, next time you visit) and 100 Trout released annually in the Spring
10,000 Worms at work in our compost bins
150,000 Bees in our outdoor hives, producing our fresh honey
Other Bugs Friends we raise each year include: Caterpillars (and Butterflies) & Ladybugs
