Lady Bird Lake bed
Help maintain Green Corn Project's demonstration garden on the banks of Lady Bird Lake. We need volunteers who can water and weed regularly, as well as take part in Spring/Fall refurbishments.
No parking is available at the immediate garden site, but you can park at the YMCA and walk down to the lake, or park on the south side of the pedestrian bridge, near Lamar and E. Riverside and walk across the bridge and down the steps on the north side.
See our Blog entry for our April 4th 2009 refurbishment or more photos.
Our bed is one of many sponsored by the Town Lake Trail Foundation along that spot of the shore, but ours is easily identifiable. It's the only vegetable garden. Just look for the tomatoes!
History
In honor of Green Corn Project's tenth anniversary, we installed a demonstration vegetable bed on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) between the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge and the Lamar Street Bridge. Volunteers Roger Mitchell, and Liz and Wayne Kesterson, and Board Member, Suzanne Hurley, double dug the bed and planted tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, corn, and herbs. The bed is growing great!
GCP thanks Sara Moore and Susan Rankin at Town Lake Trail Foundation for embracing and supporting our idea; Sarah Yant and Big Red Sun for their design help and plant and compost donations; and our anonymous sponsor—you know who you are—for helping us fund the bed.
