The 2019 Growing Season Has Begun!

  • Teen Leadership Class from Bellevue High School
  • Bellevue High School students helping to plant the herb garden
  • Members of Bellevue High School's Team Leadership Class working in the garden's lowlands

May 15, 2019

With the help of the Bellevue High School Teen Leadership Class, more than 50% of The Bellevue Hospital's community gardens have been planted, which means - the 2019 growing season is underway! Everyone worked hard and I wanted to thank you again for all the work you did. We were able to get the boxes and herb garden planted which included crops such as lettuce, chard, radishes, onions, carrots, sage, cilantro and lemon balm.  The rhubarb was re-planted until we can get the lowlands worked up.  It’s been a wet start to the season, so the crops in the lowlands have not been able to be planted yet. Once planted, these crops will include peppers, squash, sunflowers and green beans. I am looking forward to another successful year in the garden!!
