On Wednesday, November 13, 2013 the afterschool Magic Zone youth came to Koshland Garden with Chaniel Williams, Program Lead for K-2 and Maurice Scott, Program Assistant, to make pine-cone bird feeders. Adrian Almquist, CommunityGrows Garden Educator lead the class, with assistance by volunteer, Janine Gee. They were also joined by another potential volunteer, Derek Richardson, an ER doctor at SF General. The kids had a great time slathering peanut butter on pine-cones and rolling them in seeds. Then the bird treats were strung up on the garden trellis for all to enjoy.
After the pine-cones were done, everyone filled buckets and watered the winter starts in the garden.
