Many thanks to a great group of public garden volunteers!

It was a gorgeous day and a much needed reminder that spring is coming. Unfortunately I took the group photo a bit late so I missed some of you--thank you so much for your contribution to this space.💚

¡Muchas gracias a un gran grupo de voluntarios del jardín público!

Fue un día precioso y un recordatorio muy necesario de que la primavera ya está aquí. Lamentablemente, tomé la foto de grupo un poco tarde, así que no pude ver a algunos de ustedes. ¡Muchas gracias por su contribución a este espacio! 💚

This Valentine's Day I had a little photoshoot on our bench with one thing I love about winter.... Wangari garlic! Garlic is a great reminder that winter is a time to hunker down and take care of ourselves.

One month away from our season beginning! Who's ready?

Due to the weather, we're postponing the orchard workday to next month, check out the partiful in our bio! Stay warm

It's the shortest day of the year. The ground is hard and the garden is wintering. But this also means that tomorrow, the days start getting longer!

Enjoy the off-season, stay warm, and we'll hope for some snow to enjoy sledding on the hill.

Thanks !
