Thank you to all of our neighbors for showing up and making this morning’s Summer Solstice Meetup such a fun success! Belmont-Hillsboro Neighbors is happy to support the efforts of the Second Sunday Gardeners year-round and with events like today’s. It was wonderful to see so many new faces and catch up with old friends

The Second Sunday Gardeners are a treasure and have created a truly magical place in Portland Park, a Metro Park. It is an urban oasis for our precious pollinators, created by and for the community to enjoy. Maureen May, you are a gift to our neighborhood as is everyone who has given of their time and gardening talents to this project; miriam.mimms Quin Evans Segall and so many others.
