It was a beautiful fall day in the garden. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. We started a whole new crop of kids for our 27th year of garden club.
The kids enjoyed garden yoga with Amy, planting seeds, digging potatoes, pulling w**ds and making some delicious salsa. All of the ingredients were grown in the garden except the limes! It was a super fun start!
Thanks everyone

We have the BEST volunteer crew around. Today they worked hard to get the space spruced up for the new garden club members next Thursday. Tables were painted, digging pits w**ded, harvesting done etc.
We love that we’ve been able to donate fresh produce to our local food bank this summer.
Thanks everyone!

Many thanks to Kathy Klompass for teaching our young gardeners about Indigo dying today! The children (and adults) really enjoyed learning the process and watching the magic happen.
We also dug out our first batch of red potatoes and everyone took some home to share with their families.

We are grateful for the cooler days and nights! We enjoyed a lovely spring day in the garden. The children planted tomatoes, peppers, zinnias and dahlias. They painted and planted herb pots to take home and enjoy fresh herbs with family members. Miss Amy taught the kids about composting and let them explore living compost critters. Yikes!
A couple friends enjoyed digging out a four foot w**d in the garden. It took alot of strength and cooperation to do it.
Sometimes the learning in the garden is more subtle and each kid is on his own path.
Best part of today! Our alumni Kenneth came by to volunteer today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
