If you build it they will come....

A million thanks to Wayne and Todd, who led the way as a new shed was built at the garden on June 21. The shed sits sturdy on a gravel foundation with plenty of room for tools and even rain spouts to help gather more water from the roof for our garden.

It was a hot day and things weren't quite complete, but Wayne and Todd stayed right through until the monday working hard to complete this important project. Not only does the new shed provide a place to put tools, but it also creates some very pleasant shady spots to rest on a hot day.

Please take a moment to thank Wayne and Todd for lending their expertise next time you see them.

Newest Gardener

A few weeks ago on a sunny sunday, many of us had the chance to welcome our newest gardener into the fold. Tom's new dog is a Bluetick Coonhound, rescued from the Southern United States. We're all looking forward to benefitting from this gardener's impeccably positive attitude and unparalleled enthusiasm.

I spoke with Tom this morning and the young lady has been named Blue, say hi to her if you get the chance.
