Oakshire Urban Garden Updates

Greetings from the Oakshire garden. We have three new additions to our space, chickens and bees. The two foster chickens, brought to us by family members arrived on Friday May 20th. Their names are Chicken Nugget ( red sexlink) and Blackie (black sexlink). Our brood of eight have been mostly welcoming! And the brewery has honeybees! Seth San Felipo owner of Urban Lumber Company caught the swarm of bees outside the Springfield Forest Service offices last week and delivered them to the far southern corner of the farmhouse lot in the evening. The bees are bustling around and have been spotted in the garden next to the sage and rosemary. We also have Fuggle and Centennial hops popping up next to the fence. Check out the garden the next time you are at the brewery. Look for further notifications this summer for upcoming work parties, we will be rebuilding the earth oven and putting in a few more garden features!
