Grassroots Garden Open House

Attended the 2012 event last night was very happy to meet fellow gardeners, staff and volunteers of GG.
Great ideas and suggestions: loved the cascading water barrels concept.
Looking forward to my planning meeting and another magical year.
The evening ended with a delightful view of the sunset, the horizon became a scarlet ribbon. It was a wrap.

Community BBQ Aug 16 6:30 in the Garden

C'mon down and join the fun - everyone's pitching in for food, fun and good times.

Spring is sprung

Lake Erie's Ice is casting a shadow of cool air over our garden, but spring is in the air!

Today a large flock of geese flew overhead, coming home from their winter vacation, the starlings and robins are back, and nature is awakening from the long sleep of hibernation.

The garden is waking up as well, crocus leaves have sprouted, tulip leaves are poking out, and the tips of dafodils, (those jolly jaunty jonquils) are starting to pierce the ground.

This year for the first time the garden is entered in the Garden Walk. This will be the Garden's 3rd summer and we are ready to show off the hard work that everyone has contributed.

There are plenty of weeds sprouting, find your work gloves we will see you in the garden for a volunteer clean up and planting day soon.

A busy Weekend on Fargo

There was a lot going on in our garden this weekend as new friends came to work, bring plants and keep us company.

A major weeding session beautified the garden over Saturday and Sunday - in total we had 5 volunteers, and a good thing too in order to get it all done before the mulch is delivered.

We received lots of donations of plants - count em' 6 flats of plants and then some! They are Gorgeous! Best of all we now have a fountain. A real beauty - the perfect touch of whimsy.

Thanks to the wonderful volunteers for weeding, planting and for the wonderful donations.

Do drop by and enjoy the garden, I think you'll find something new every time you visit.

We need some volunteers on Saturday June 26 - we are expecting a big shipment of bagged soil and Mulch which will need moving. Also we will be putting out the big planters on the street.
