Well, at least the community garden is!
Vegetables and a sundry of herbs and such grace a patch of raised beds behind Centenary Methodist Church. This community garden is tended to by residents of the area, and they're even so generous as to also work a small area outside the fence for anyone to pick from (the plot inside the fence is meant only for those who've put in the work of raising the plants). This project is aimed at teaching city dwellers how to garden - and the value of doing so. We even got to hear about the program from one of its directors!

We visited for more purposes than talking about the gardens, though. Soil was the central point. We took samples of dirt using the "split spoon corer" and sifted some soil as well. Also, bucket full of mud (or should I say, sandy loam) made it into the mix.
