The garden will be allowed to grow following testing that found "no significant risk" from the garden's soils. | Especially those | from Hyannis \ West Elementary By Edward F. Maroney • emaroney@barnstablepatriot.com Now they 've got to get themselvesback to the garden. i Organizers of the Hyannis WestElementary School garden : were in limbo for a time after ; concerns werevoiced about soil : contamination decades ago on another area of the West Main Street property. • Supporters of the garden in : the school's courtyard, which had been abustle with the i labors of enthusiastic teachers, parents, and children, had to i wait for an all-clear after soil testing. It came this week after Risk i Management Incorporated' s : analysis of soil samples taken by Bennett Environmental Associates found "no I significant risk" of harm to "human health, public welfare and the environment" in the garden's raised beds or in the soil beneath them. I The extensive testing looked at levels of heavy metals, PCBs, and organochlorine pesticides. Unfortunately, the temporary shutdown occurred toward the end of the school year, so children didn't get to take home their produce. "There will be different produce during the summer," garden organizer Sue LaVallee said in a recent interview. "The radishes have gone by, but there 's going to be beans, tomatoes , squash hopefully. We planted some cukes today." For this first summer , LaVallee said, "we're going to let the garden volunteers who are taking care of it , mostly staff from Hyannis West, help themselves to the harvest, but we'll have plenty to share with the families of the students who helped create the garden in the spring." The voluminous soil investi gation report has an attachment that lists "vegetables planted in raised garden beds - 2014 Hyannis West Elementary School Courtyard"that sounds like a promise of good things to come: "Snap peas, shelling peas, Swiss chard, spinach, various types of lettuce, beans, corn, squash , tomatoes , kale , pump kin , parsley, cilantro, mint, sage, carrots."
