The Community Garden is doing brilliantly. We hope your garden is doing the same!
We’ve had plenty of strawberries, raspberries, and haskaps for fruits and our vegetables that we planted early in the season are looking abundant and fresh. Do you like peas, beets, carrots, and potatoes, just to name a few? We grow them all plus much, much more. How about your garden?
Aside from the mainstays of our humble little green area, did you know we have several herbs that we grow as well?
If you’re interested in learning more about gardening, then don’t forget to sign up next year when we begin the cycles once again! It’s never too early or too late to learn this new, precious, and fun skill – and the rewards are surely worth the efforts. Back to the herbs…
