GARDEN AND MORE

RAISED-BED GARDEN, SPRING 2022

The raised-bed garden is a pilot project, conceived of by Lyn and Tom Deardorff and Karen Strickler Vinson. It is funded by the Sand River Community Awards. Local food production is a key aspect of sustainability in a time of uncertain climatic conditions and global instability. If the pilot project proves to be successful, it may be expanded to additional raised beds.
“The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.” 
—Hanna Rion
We have an organic community orchard and garden while a number of residents have their own personal gardens as well.

Other expressions of sustainability at Sand River include a variety of water harvesting systems as well as a community compost operation, which builds soil for the common garden and landscape areas.
