What a fantastic time we had at our October meeting! 🌿✨
Our fall planting workshop was a huge success. The club provided pots, soil, and a great selection of seeds, and our wonderful members got straight to work starting their fall gardens.
The best part? Many of us are already seeing tiny green sprouts popping up! 🌱 We can’t wait to harvest an incredible harvest of fall veggies in the coming months. From crisp lettuce and sweet peas to healthy broccoli and so much more.
Thank you to all the amazing members who made this event so special. There’s nothing quite like growing together! 🥬🥦🫛
