New Mural for the Garden at Slide Ranch

We had the great fortune of having Dottie Arnold join our teachers in residence this summer.  She is a talented young painter.  As part of her internship, she (and the other teachers) takes a week to do an independent project.  Hers was the creation of a delightful mural that illustrates how can be developed for best growing food.  It features worms, a layered compost pile, water and children working.  Also featured are gophers (we hope the owls and bobcats find them), bees, various vegetables and the stages from seed to young plant.  Really charming.  It hangs on the back of the main composting area in the garden.
