What's going on?

Cooler days and sweeter nights are upon us.  The summer may be winding down, but things are still going full-swing in the garden.  What's been going on?

Melons are filling out:


Grain's been a-threshin':




Kids are learning and exploring:



The garden house is thriving:


Beauty is everywhere:



And we are honored to have been able to be sharing: we are up to 43 pounds of produce donated so far to Channels food rescue with more on the way.  Sometime wouldn't it be neat to be able to do what this man came up with to help his inner-city community gain access to fresh, local food even with few resources: click here for a link to a great article first seen in the September 2011 issue of Oprah "Food Drive".  There are so many ways to create something amazing just by looking around for the need and jumping in with a passion.  (Anyone got a food cart we can roll up 2nd street in Harrisburg to share fresh healthy eats and gorgeous produce?). :)

Next up in the garden: we'd love for you to join us next week for our last children's class this season:
Saturday August 27th at 9am - Children's Gardening Class : Gardening by Colors and Shapes.  Children will learn to eat vegetables of every color of the Rainbow and discover the health benefits of vegetables by looking at their shapes.  Please RSVP if you and your favorite kid would like to stop by!

Have a great week.
