The garden is tilled and ready for us to get out there!

We are thrilled to report that the community garden is officially tilled and ready for us to start preparing the space for this year's garden.  We'll begin to bring out tools and lay down lines for the paths and sections in the next week and hope to start bringing in truckloads of compost next weekend.

Regular garden hours will begin next Wednesday (5/4) from 6 pm to dusk and Saturday (5/8) from 8 am to 11 am and everyone is welcome.  If you can't make it out there, no worries: we can't wait to start having some more pictures to post so we can show you what we are up to!

Another exciting item: we are featured in the May issue of Natural Awakenings magazine, a great new local publication highlighting natural, alternative events and practitioners in Central Pa.  You can find copies at most studios, health food stores or anywhere friends gather or you can contact them if you have someplace you'd like this wonderful free resource to be available.  You can also check out some of this month's content on their Facebook page and a digital edition for May should be online soon.

For those who enjoyed our last Fairy Festival in the garden and can't wait for the next one, consider checking out the Fairie Festival at Spoutwood Farm in Glen Rock, Pa this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (4/29-5/1).  Their mission: "to help people come alive to nature as well as our own creative natures and to invite people to nurture a sense of wonder; to respect and befriend all living beings as well as the environment that supports us all".  Beautifully put!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
