GreenShed Build Continues - Nov 25

Work has recommenced on the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation GreenShed. The community garden/GreenShed site suffered damage during last spring's flood and several steps in the construction sequence remained to be completed. The GreenShed will be used to grow veggies throughout the winter, to start transplants to be moved into the summer garden and to grow heat-loving veggies, like peppers and tomatoes, through the hot months of high summer.


Construction began with an inventory of on-site materials and assessment of the existing structure. The stuccoed, straw bale panels stand strong after their first Saskatchewan winter and remain a promising addition to straw bale technology and prairie vernacular architecture. Today's work included repairing and installing strapping, sheathing the building exterior with plywood and installing polycarbonate panels in the greenhouse.
