Easy's Restaurant is on board

Our good neighbor to the west of us is joining us in our recycle efforts. Easy's Restaurant will support our community garden composting efforts. Glad you are on board! Stop in for some good food, too, at Easy's. We do.

Azaleas are beginning to bloom

While we are working to get the garden beds ready for the first plantings, the azaleas on our yards are beginning their blooms. A gorgeous dark pink. What a beautiful flush of color.
We welcome people to come onto the yard (check at the visitor center first) to snap photos for personal use (no professionals and only walking on the grass and sidewalks).

Carol Cuccio, our education assistant, has been busy organizing, planning, staffing, and conjoling to get our four garden beds up and running.

Check in to watch our progress.

Jason's Deli will help

We are blessed that Jason's Deli will contribute to our compost. Jason's will be a good community partner.
