Garden News

GARDEN FRIENDS  Thanks to everyone who weeded and watered our gardens over the summer—from the colorful pots on the front porch, through the side gardens, and all the way up the hill to the tree line, everything looks alive and reasonably loved, cared for, and lived in.  Many of our neighbors have reported enjoying our front porch and side gardens, and it’s great to know we’re providing greenery and respite to the local community too.  Also thanks to everyone who hosted and attended this year’s garden tours—these weekly Sunday afternoon events have become a great new traditional way to celebrate nature and share community in an amazing variety of beautiful settings.  So thanks to all the many unsung but much appreciated heroes who have supported these gardening activities. 

AND now, please join us on Saturday, September 12th , 9 am to noon, for some grounds up-keep and to help get ready for the opening day of our regular church year on the 13th.   Bring your ideas, gloves, and favorite trimming tools, and we’ll provide some light refreshments.  If you have suggestions or questions before that, please contact Mary Mcalister maryalmc@gmail.com or Kate O’Dell odellkk@gmail.com, this year’s Friends of the Gardens co-chairs. And thanks.
