A new mulch pile at the Peabody Street Community Garden is impressing locals and passers-by alike. The grade-A mulch was recently trucked in from western Maryland to be ready for the kickoff of the garden’s sowing season. The 1.2 tons of prime Butternut-Sugar Maple blend arrived at the garden Wednesday morning greeted by an excited crowd of gardeners and mulch enthusiasts. “We always get excited about the Spring mulch dump” remarked one local present at the dumping ceremony, “It marks the beginning of the gardening season. We’ve been bringing the kids out for years.” Another eager supporter cheerily chimed in, “Smell that? This is really good mulch!” The pile will be on display for the duration of the season. Park officials remind parents that climbing on the pile is strictly prohibited by the District's Code of Appropriate Park Conduct.
