Dirt Shovel

MOUNT LOOKOUT - Seven-year-old Vivienne Konz picked up a shovel roughly twice as tall as she was and carefully maneuvered it toward the large swath of newly spread dirt behind Kilgour Elementary School. The volunteers hope the garden - a joint venture between the school and the community - will soon yield tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, carrots, and other veggies that the kids can help cultivate, learn about and perhaps even eat themselves. He's since received the support of the school, financial help from the Kilgour PTA, a truckload of donated fertilizer from Carriage House Farm in North Bend and a ton of volunteer help. The "it" was the future 280-square-foot vegetable garden that she and about 25 other volunteers -adults and children -were building the beds for Saturday morning behind the school playground. Vivienne's father Kevin Konz, of Hyde Park, came up with the idea of building a garden at the school about two years ago after he won a $250 "Earning for Learning" grant from his employer, Macy's. She hopes the garden will also inspire the kids to pick up some healthy-eating habits.
