we have a mailbox!

introducing... the G.R.O.W. mailbox!

there should be a weekly to-do list inside. so folks can stop by to spend some time in the garden at their own convienence, check off the things that have been done, make suggestions, etc.

we hope this will encourage visitors beyond our scheduled worktimes!

Garden Art!!!

Yesterday, despite threats of rain, the weather held for a beautiful afternoon in the garden!

We partnered with a local artist - Nancy Canter - to make colorful vegetable signs!  

We spent time planting some summer vegetables, flowers, and herbs including tomatoes, peppers, okra, marigolds, nasturtiums, basil, and rosemary!

We also recognized Josh who has done a tremendous job in the greenhouse this spring. He presented our seed starting project in front of a room full of people last month and expressed what he has learned quite eloquently. Thanks for all your hard work, Josh!

  And thanks for your creativity and participation, artists and gardeners!

Spring continues

Here's a few recent pictures from our gardens!

Plantin' taters!

 Growing brassicas (after a spring shower!)

  Peas and radishes!

Tomatoes, okra, flowers, and herbs patiently waiting to be transplanted!

With a combination of what we've grown in the greenhouse and a generous donation from the Community College Plant Sale, we're planning a planting afternoon next Tuesday! Hopefully we'll get some delicious summer crops in the ground! The planting day is in conjuction with an art activity made possible by the Cultural Arts Council to make signs for the vegetables.

Look for a colorful blog coming soon!
