Joe Boch meticulously plants his beans at the Greer Memorial Hospital community garden.
Within two weeks Boch's garden begins to sprout from the seeds planted in the above photo.
The design of the garden is only limited by the gardener's imagination. The white picket-style fence encloses a garden with a raised plot on the left and wire cages (top left) for tomatoes.
The individual plots are identified with the gardener's construction of their borders and, in some cases, wooden wind chimes.
Two weeks ago Boch meticulously planted, seed by seed, beans spaced by his measurements. The bamboo-rimmed garden is Boch’s signature construction.
Boch said he is an eastern transplant enjoying pitting his primitive gardening skills against his southern neighbors.
The past week Boch’s beans were sprouting and his squash was flowering.
This is the second year of the GMS community garden.
