Thank you to all the families and individuals who helped tend the Food Pantry Garden for 2022!  We had our longest season ever, thanks to the milder fall, so it was great that we could extend our service to the Food Pantry clients.

We wish you all a wonderful fall and winter season.  See you in March, for sugar snap peas planting day!

July, 2020 Garden Update

The Meyer Family: 
Two generations of gardeners!
 


Summer is in full swing, and, thanks to our team efforts and plenty of sun and rain, the garden is thriving! 
 
We’ve harvested several tasty batches of sugar snap peas, which have run their course.  Bush beans have replaced them in bed #1, and they’ll be sprouting soon!
 
It’s been great to have old friends and new helping tend the garden.  If you’d like to help water, weed and harvest, here’s the link to the sign up:
