MiraCosta College Service Learning Department did a complete overhaul of River Road Gardens on Saturday, November 5 for their annual volunteer project, Make a Difference Day. It was possibly our largest volunteer projects in the garden ever, with over 70 MiraCosta students, faculty, and staff volunteering in a single day! We cleared out summer crops and replanted most if it, covering about 600 square feet in new seeds and seedlings. We put in onions, peas, celery, spinach, chard, kale, mustard greens, broccoli, cabbage, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lettuce, and carrots.
It has been two weeks since the project, and now we have lots of baby plants coming up from seeds they planted! Spinach, peas, and salad greens are emerging from the soil, promising a great winter harvest.
This work crew was so positive, energetic, and hardworking. We could use MiraCosta giving back every month! If that is asking too much, I hope to see them next year.
