Friday Open House

The garden was hopping today even though the cloud coverage was worrisome. A few of the kids who stopped by planted marigolds, tasted basil and celery and enjoyed washing off a freshly picked cucumber.



We hope to see you in the garden on Monday!
Have a great weekend,
The SHCGC

Did you know...

...that fennel tastes like licorice? A few young girls who stopped by the garden yesterday loved the taste!

Eggplant

In the next few weeks the community garden will witness something very cool...its own eggplant! We're just waiting for the day that these beautiful purple flowers turn into delicious eggplant. Stop by to watch them grow!

Plant Your Own Marigold

Today, the SHCGC hosted some campers at the garden who had the opportunity to plant their own marigolds using seeds they found in the garden. The 4 and 5 year-olds had a blast decorating pots, picking seeds, planting, and watering their plants. Hopefully, they will get to see them grow into beautiful yellow and orange flowers.
