Roaring Fork High School students Orin, Gael, Alea, Anasophia and Laura planted two new fruit trees outside the grow dome with funding from Susila Dharma USA, organized by Illène Pevec. With help from Grand Junction Pipe and TE Builders, a new irrigation system has been installed which can switch from ditch to town water to extend the growing season. Retired landscape gardener Gretchen Hofmann is helping to revive the grow dome after seeing our article published in June. More help is needed in the form of tools, labor and financial contributions. A volunteer workday is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 25 and Hofmann can be reached at gretsgardens@gmail.com
