Corn is growing alongside sunflowers big enough for King Kong to wear in
his lapel in Katy MacRaes Goatville garden. A quiet campaign has begun
growing there, toofor the joys and importance of urban gardening.
In this curbside garden on Lawrence Street the corn supports the soybeans.
The tomatoes lean on the impressive stalks of sunflowers. And all around
them the carpeting vines and leaves of sweet potato and pumpkin keep weeds
at bay.
Result: no stakes required. And one incredibly efficient garden in the
midst of a dense city neighborhood.
MacRae started working her one curbside raised bed and two sidewalk-level
plots four years ago when she and her husband bought their modest house
between Nicoll and Foster in the Goatville section of the East Rock
neighborhood, between upper State Street and Orange Street.
Since then peas, soybeans, carnations, dahlias, hollyhock, double
tuberose, tomatoes, and this year for the first time corn have sprouted in
tidy profusion.
Along with that has grown an increasing interest of neighbors and
passersby in the very visible garden, which uses all available space for
flowers and plants.
When they pass by on the quiet block, they see an efficiency in use of
space that is not chaotic but charming and orderly, like a horticultural
family with lots of kids who all know their chores.
MacRae, who for her day job does research in psychiatry at the Yale School
of Medicine, responded to the interest in her handiwork by creating a
Facebook page and an evolving website.
She uses them to share both seeds and ideas, but most of all to help Elm
City friends and urbanites overcome lack of space, light, and other
city-dweller impediments to what has become known as yard-scaping or
squarefoot gardening.
That is, raising flowers and vegetables in small spaces. MacRae said that
the book by that title, Squarefoot Gardening, by Mel Bartholomew, has been
one of her inspirations.
