Today at our D.I.R.T.Y. gardening event, our community gathered to enjoy the cooler weather, harvest the garden’s abundance, and discover just how many gifts a garden can offer.
🎃 Pumpkins, peppers, herbs, and fresh salad greens were harvested and enjoyed. We learned how to harvest and process luffa gourds into natural sponges, and we planted garlic—not only a flavorful addition to our meals, but a plant with a long history of medicinal uses.
A garden can nourish our bodies with fresh food, provide useful materials for everyday life, offer plants with traditional medicinal uses, and invite us to slow down, learn, connect, and marvel at the goodness of creation.
We’re grateful for another beautiful morning of learning and growing together in the Concho Valley!
