It’s been a very busy two weeks around here!
🌱 All of our veggie and flower annuals are officially in the ground (thanks to those wonderful volunteers who showed up 😄), irrigation is hooked up, and the fencing is finally up to give all the little guys a fighting chance to grow strong. 💜🫶
Have a lovely weekend, stay safe, and cheers! 🍻 The puppers are tuckered out lol… from watching us work so hard 😂

Hey friends! 🌱

Just a couple of sweet reminders:

Our veggie plant sale fundraiser wraps up at the end of the day this Sunday (5/3)! If you’ve been thinking about grabbing some plants, now’s the time 😊
Suggested donation is $3.00 per plant. We accept Venmo, PayPal, or cash (there’s a cash box available).

Also, there will NOT be a Silent Book Club this Friday—we’ll resume on 6/5 📚
Instead, there’s a great program happening that night we’re excited about: Douglas Tallamy speaking on sustainable gardening at The Capitol Theater at 6:00 p.m. 🌿

Thank you so much for your support — it truly means a lot! 💚
