> WHAT'S GROWING at THE GARDEN
>
> It's a winter wonderland down at Cass Park and the Gardens are  
> hibernating peacefully under a thick blanket of snow.  There are  
> still things to see and do.
>
> Gaia the Turtle loves visits, even in the winter.  She's a great  
> spot for seasonal photos.  Take one this month,  again in April,  
> then July and October for a glimpse of yourself, the Garden, and  
> Ithaca in every season.
>
> Human visitors to the Garden slow down in the winter months but the  
> birds and animals still stop by daily.  Look for tracks in the snow  
> and see if you can figure out who has been visiting.  Sit for a  
> three minutes, quiet and still with a pad of paper and a pencil.   
> How many birds did you see?  How many did you hear?
>
> Spring will be here before long.  Have an idea of something we  
> should grow in the Edible Garden this year?  Email your ideas to  
> Leigh (LAM26 at cornell.edu).
