Wormies! Vermies?

Our friend, Rose, is the Children's Librarian at Pennsauken Library. She invited Kevin to offer a lesson on worms function in a healthy ecosystem.

Kevin was beside himself. For his 30th BDay, he received worms to start vermiculture composting at the Avant Garden. Some of these guys were featured. Thankfully, we also received a good rain the day before the workshop, so Kevin was able to dig up some other earth worm varieties in the Avant Garden.


Kids got to take a peak. Sonora Rose is helping in the background. She is also largely responsible for the Pennsauken Community Garden, located behind the Library, and featured in these photos.


Behold!



Kevin is a big fan of kids. He's also worked one-on-one with kids to establish vegetable gardens. Contact us if you'd like to book on-going education!


Special thank you to Lauren Lopez, the Rooted Logo designer, who attended with her kids and took these photos!

Field stone wall in off-season

Our friend, Aimee, with Horticulturalist for Hire wanted a Field Stone wall built for a property where she was working. She built the fire pit & enlisted Rooted Landscaping support for the field stone wall with blue stone cap. 



We love working collaboratively with Aimee and we love this wall!

Higgins front yard overhaul

Our friend, Maureen, wanted to remove ivy and update the landscaping in her front yard. After ivy removal and soil remediation, we began carving beds.
