Leadership Workshop Postponed until March 20th
Dear Friends,
The Leadership Workshop has been postponed to a likely date of Saturday March 20. Between the cold snap which disrupted the garden prep work, and the recent disaster in Haiti which has taken much time and attention from key workshop planners, we felt this change was needed. Thank you for your understanding.
You are welcome to stop by the Garden any Saturday for a glimpse of all that God is doing. Send us a message or make a surprise visit, we will be glad to see you!
The Garden Team
ps–save the date! Tea in the Garden on Feb 27 5:30-7:00pm
Meanwhile, enjoy some pictures of our sunflowers getting ready for tomorrow’s visit by the Tedder Elementary School kids.

Food Pantry Greens after the Big Rains
The week ending in December 19th was a momentous one in terms of rain! 7+ inches in two days! Fortunately our food forest and garden plots loved it! No major flooding, just lots of happy plants.
Next time we will have rain barrels arranged to catch the abundance!
In addition, this Saturday marked the 1st time garden produce was officially given out through the on-site church lead food pantry. Nothing like locally grown organic food! We are working at upping the fresh to can ratio, it’s a start!

Soaking rains, dripping sweat, and God have kept the garden growing! Trees are getting greener, taller and flowering, ground cover is spreading and filling rocky spaces with red and orange flowers, the banana forest is denser, feeling cooler and looking like a “Jungle Book” backdrop complete with vines and butterflies (is that a parrot off in the distance?).
