My trips to our local vegetable garden is something that I treasure and love very much They often turn into a photo walk around the raised garden boxes - there is such a variety and wonder walking among them - vegetables and fruit for our tables, beautiful roses and flowers for the pollinators. I am so grateful to a local church that parsed off a portion of the parking lot and turned it into a community garden and a sand volleyball field - both are very well used and appreciated. The garden is one of the focal points in the neighborhood, and my happy place, too. Thanks to our knowledgeable and enthusiastic garden coordinator, members meet at a certain time once a week - it's a great time to exchange ideas what to plant, what has worked in previous years and just fun to meet other garden... 11/29/2024
