Today right after eating a scrumptious breakfast at
McKinleys, we went to the student run garden by the Carr building, the Carrden.
At the Carrden Kerstin Martin, garden
manager here at AC, helped us learn about all the types of plants there and
about how and why the Carrden is used
and was created. The Carrden sells their produce to the cafeteria’s here at
Allegheny College and it is part of what wwe eat for breakfast lunch and dinner
While at the carrden we, the creekers, helped to install a new irrigation
system by connecting plastic tubes with holes in them to an intake system to
which one can attach a hose to get the water to the plants. After making two of
these to water the eggplants and tomatoes we moved over to planting
different plants. We planted kale and then watered it. We planted two different
varieties of kale filling an entire planter.
