Spring 2013

A long cool wet spring this year and the garden is lush.

Looking forward to our annual BBQ, mark the date on your calendar August 20th at 6:30pm. Always delicious! Great to catch up with friends. 

July flowers

This time of year the garden really comes into full swing.

Join us for the 4th Annual Garden BBQ - Tuesday, August 21st at 6pm. Building community starts with sharing - share a smile, share some food and share your stories. Pull up a chair. This year will be our second year in the Buffalo Garden Walk. the last Saturday and Sunday in July. With a hub just around the corner at D'Youville college we expect more people to visit our neighborhood than ever. We started a Vegetable Garden and have received requests for growing space from neighbors, next year we may set up plots. Ever changing stop by to look at the garden and see what's new. Feel free to pull a weed or two. Expect our Rain Barrels to be installed soon.

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.
