Manure Transfer

Tomorrow morning we will be transferring cow manure from the dairy to the BOG in preparation for tilling in some natural amenities to the soil. Anyone who would like to help can meet at 8AM in front of Wescott. We will probably work for about an hour or so. Come have some morning fun and get yucky with us. ;)

A presentation will be given on the BOG this Friday, April 24 at 2PM in room 115 of the science building. A meet and greet session with tasty refreshments and snacks will follow. All are welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces.

We've Broke Ground

Congratulations BOG! You have been tilled!! Today, with loving help from volunteers, the BOG was turned over for the very first time. Everyone got their hands dirty and got right down into the dirt. We even ran barefoot right through the middle of it!! ;o) We picked out rocks and any other invaders. The dirt look beautiful. We even came across some lovely little worms!! Yay for BOG progress!!!

Want a tour and personal introduction to the BOG and the horticultural facilities?

Then come to the BOG this evening at 5PM and bring your friends!! Andrea Jones will be there to show everyone around the facility and familiarize us with where the tools, equipment, etc. are kept, PLUS you'll get to see the BOG firsthand!! Come on out to the BOG and we'll meet you there!!

Daughters of Berry and Board of Visitors

We will be presenting the BOG to more of the Berry community this week!! Thursday we will visit with the Daughters of Berry followed by the Board of Visitors this Saturday morning!! How exciting!? We look forward to a great time with both of these groups and can't wait to hear and answer questions about the BOG them....we'll be keeping everyone posted as the BOG continues to move forward! ;)

This Weeks Events

Rain Rain Go Away! Come Again Some Other Day! We have been hopeful that this week could be dedicated to getting our hands dirty at the BOG but the rain has been relentless!! When there's a break in the clouds....we're heading to the BOG to complete a little bit of prep work. Cleaning out, possibly even tilling and adding some nutrients to the soil. Stay tuned.. ; )
