Clark College students help prepare Hazel Dell garden for spring

Hazel Dell — Clark College students from Kristen Myklebust’s and Veronica Brock’s Food and Your Health classes worked at the Hazel Dell School and Community Garden on two consecutive Thursdays in March. The 58 students prepared the garden for spring planting by spreading soil on the beds and bark on the paths. Washington State University Master Gardeners Bobbi Bellomy and Barbara Nordstrom, with the help of Lydia De Priest, Mike Garofalo, Lynn Peterson and Claire Sprowls, led the work parties. In addition to educational opportunities for the students and food for the weekend backpack program, the garden is partnering with the Food Bank and Share to provide food to the local community.
