Wednesday in the Garden

Zinnias, trimmed up and 
rejuvenated.  

This week’s report from Garden Coordinator, Cathy Alfano:

Today in our garden was just awesome. Everyone pitched in and weeded the west side paths and beds, and it looks amazing! When I left, most all of the west side had been cleared of weeds and folks were putting down cardboard and mulch. 

The beds are also looking beautiful. Lots of winter crops coming up and the flower beds have been reinvigorated and are blooming. Folks also watered and planted in their beds. Carole gathered millet seeds and Peggy was harvesting roselle. Cathi dug some beautiful sweet potatoes and shared them with the group. It was a great day.

Photos from the last couple of weeks.
