Family Weeding Fridays

The first Family Weeding Friday last week was a huge success. Please join us at the gardens again this Friday from 2:00-4:00pm!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2011!

In our news, we're so grateful to the families who adopted banana plants from November through December, but we've decided to call it off. Whitefly is persistent and the effort it takes to keep the plants free of them is enormous.

Instead of adoption, we're resuming the Weekly Weeder program - now, Family Weeding Fridays - every Friday afternoon from 2:00-4:00. Parents and children are welcome to come to the gardens to weed, water, trim, stake and do whatever it takes to take care of our green spaces. The gardens are in full bloom - the tomato vines are thick with fruit, the lettuces abundant and herbs vie for space. Marigolds, nasturtiums, sunflowers, peas, tomatoes, radishes, beets...the list goes on and on. Join us one Friday and taste for yourself!

If you want your children to experience the gardens in an after-school activity, sign them up for Cindy Hill's cooking class or the Gardening class. Cindy Hill's International Nutritional Cooking meets Mondays, and Jaquelina Zingales' Gardening meets Fridays. Sign up is next week - 1/10, 11 & 12 in person in the courtyard from 7:30-9:00am!
