This is Lexy from Build It Up East TN with some more lovely pictures from the new community garden at Whispering Meadows in Erwin, TN.

The city of Erwin donated a whole dump truck filled to the brim with mulch for our pathways.  The gardeners collected sheets of cardboard and laid them down around the raised beds to suppress weeds.  Then they carted the mulch from the parking lot back to the garden.  It looks beautiful!
