It’s always a pleasure to be at the garden! Today we got the compost bin installed (thanks Sarah!!) and started the installation of soaker hoses to make watering a little bit easier. It was mesmerizing watching the water make its way through the line. We harvested garlic scapes, strawberries, radishes and lettuce. We hope to see everyone next Sunday from 9 - 11 am!

Heads up everyone! CWLP is working out on South Grand so the eastbound lane is closed starting at Walnut - and not sure how far east it’s closed. If you notice more traffic on your street that might be why. If you are diverting around, please be respectful of small residential streets and slow down!
