OSU Master Gardeners have welcomed YYFAP to the Yachats Demonstration and Community Garden (located just across 7th street from the Yachats Presbyterian Church).

In mid- June, the plots were weeded by the Helping Hands group. Compost has been amended into the soil and beds have been made by volunteers, YYFAP kids of all ages, and residents of the Sea Aire Assisted Living. With all of the community support we have successfully grown starts from seeds.Those seedlings were planted in the garden and have been watered and tended by kids, staff, and volunteers. We have broccoli, kale, chard, fava beans, oregano, chives, and carrots!

We have harvested radishes, broccoli, and kale, which we are using for snack during the afterschool program- Rec PLUS, and anything extra will be donated to the Yachats Food pantry-located in the Yachats Commons. We hope to grow more food to share with our community including community events-Thanks everyone who helped make this possible!

Are you interested in helping in the garden? Join the effort every Wednesdays from 3:30-5pm, bring your gloves, your hand spade and meet us there.
