As we celebrate this weekend we are grateful for all those currently serving, those that have served as well as those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom!
A little bunny has been munching his way through the garden over the last few weeks. This morning several gardeners, affectionately known as the “Bunny Wranglers,” managed to corner him in the back of the garden and Laura Margadonna pinned him with a stick while Martha Grizzel picked him up to relocate him outside the fence!
Thanks to the great care of T.C. and Carolyn Rice, the berry patch is blooming beautifully. They have pruned, watered and fertilized to keep our patch productive. We look forward to donating a bountiful supply of berries this year!
If you missed Saturday’s workday, you missed a fun time. The garden was buzzing with activity as we had 21 students and most of the gardeners showing up to volunteer. After pulling Bermuda grass, students wheelbarrowed load after load of mulch to cover the aisles. Many gardeners were preparing their plots for planting (waiting to plant because of the impending frost!).
COME ON SPRING WE ARE READY FOR YOU!

What a wonderful time everyone had at our End of Harvest party! We have some very good cooks at the garden and the gift exchange game was a hoot! Congratulations to Laura for winning the raffle gift.
Today was Food Share for senior citizens in the community delivered by volunteers of Aldersgate United Methodist Church. Thanks to Cindy Baxley for taking our 21 lb. harvest up to the church for distribution.
