Today during our RDNA Open House event, students created a living willow arbor to shade the cob bench by the pond. The arbor was designed by a small group of first year RDNA students, and they led the rest of the group through selecting and harvesting the willow and implementing the design. The willow will sprout, root into the ground, and provide a shadey and artful oasis in the garden. After all the hard work, we celebrated with a big luscious potluck with garden greens and other bounties of the season.
