COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | JULY 9, 2020 | 7A Garden from A1 vegetables. Depending on the time of year, fava beans, basil, tomatoes, collard greens, garlic, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, cabbage and shallots are harvested from the modest plot of land be- side the school. The additional garden space now adds more va- riety to that list. “We planted what I’m calling ‘the Four Sis- ters Garden,’” said Matt Hall who manages the school’s garden, “which is sunflowers, corn, beans and squash.” Among the varieties, blue sweet corn, green beans, lima beans, black- eyed peas and various types of winter squash have burst through the soil and now fill the plot as sunflowers stand tall above the vegetables, at- tracting pollinators. Hall said he takes his inspiration for the new garden space from Na- tive American growing techniques as some of the corn and bean vari- eties were traditionally grown by regional tribes. “Not grown on mounds like they did DAMIEN SHERWOOD/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Al Kennedy High School looks to expand its garden project as part of an ongoing learning opportunity. traditionally,” he said, “more grown in straight lines.” The impetus for the garden expansion was twofold. Hall, who also runs the school’s Kennedy Conservation Corps, wanted to provide an educational opportunity for students to see a gar- den that demonstrates traditional, native agri- culture.

After many requests and developing a plan to keep crew socially dis- tanced, Hall was able to convince officials to al- low a few students back on site as Oregon be- gan its phased reopen- ing. Crews of three or four students at a time got the chance to plant seeds and tend to the new land recently tilled with the help of South Lane School District board member Jerry Settelmeyer. “I wouldn’t have been able to get this far if I hadn’t been able to get the students back on site,” he said. Hall said he also owes a good amount of thanks to Oregon Youth Corps (OYC), a statewide program which grants funds for youth to gain stewardship experiences through work outdoors. “And I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the students be- ing paid by OYC to help me,” he said. OYC recently pay rolled students to work over last winter to plant trees in Silk Creek Park as well. In addition to the ed- ucational benefit, Hall also decided to expand the garden due to con- cerns over the impact of the coronavirus on the nation’s agriculture in- dustry. “My other concern was that temporary work visas are not being granted to people south of the border,” he said. “So the people this coun- try’s agriculture relies on to plant and harvest and process the crops are not coming into the country.

With the additional food production at the school’s garden, Hall hopes to do his part in mitigating any local im- pact. “If this works, then there’s going to be an abundance of food here,” he said. The community has already been benefiting from the existing gar- den. Ripe vegetables are regularly taken to food distribution groups such as the Rural Organizing Project, Soup’s On and Community Sharing or otherwise distributed to people who need them. Wanting to see more fresh produce on the distributors’ menus, Hall recalled recently har- vesting six cabbages to 7-Year Extended Warranty* A $695 Value!

Two families eagerly accepted his donation before he got through the door. “And that, to me, it makes it worthwhile,” he said. “I know there are people that are going to use those cabbages and eat them up.” The garden’s vegeta- bles are even used with- in the school itself in sit- uations such as camping trips. “So it saves a lot of money that way and they get good, organical- ly grown food,” Hall said. The new garden space will likely see green beans ready for harvest in a matter of weeks, with the other beans, corn and squash com- ing in the succeeding months. “There will probably be corn that the students could eat if they let us have students back on site in the fall,” said Hall. As new models of ed- ucation are being devel- oped with remote learn- ing and social distancing in mind, it remains to be seen how much hands- on experience students will have come fall. The garden expansion may also provide more edu- cational opportunities for the students at Al Kennedy High School as Hall intends on in- corporating more CTE (Career and Technical Education) training into his curriculum. Whatever the out- come, Hall is eager to keep plants and garden space growing in the years to come. “I could always use more space,” he said. 116 N. 6th St. • Cottage Grove CGSENTINEL.COM 541-942-3325 Subscribe ONLINE using code: mine20 Must “MINE” this deal by July 31, 2020.
