A Garden Party

We are very grateful to have such dedicated organizations in our community who spend their time & talents on helping others.  Every Tuesday, the Community Garden Connections through Antioch University New England, organizes & invites everyone to a "Garden Party" at the Westmoreland Garden Project (which is part of the Kitchen Gardeners International - they had a part is starting the White House Kitchen Garden!)

We took the Community Garden Connections group up on their offer and joined in the garden party fun!  One of the leaders, Ben, gave us a tour of the grounds and showed us the ropes.  We then donned our gloves and got to work:

We helped harvest carrots:

Onions:

Jude pulled up the biggest one:

Cabbage & peppers:

We had a fun time at this Garden Party and plan on joining in next time!

More importantly, we were able to make some connections in order to start our own two community gardens.  The boys start school next week (!) and we hope to push our proposal to start a greenhouse on their elementary school grounds.  Stay tuned!
