Breaking Ground of GroW on the Vern

This Saturday, September 18, we broke ground on the new garden on the Mount Vernon Campus. The first thing that needs to be done is to shovel brand new topsoil into the three-tier bed structure. We had wonderful volunteers from GW's Community Service Sorority, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, Living Learning Program- Green Earth Year, and of course Food Justice Alliance members. All shoveled their little hearts out. Good thing it was a beautiful day. We also had some much needed help from Mount Vernon's Facilities Team! Thanks so much Tony Dillard for lending us your guys!
