Me? Garden?

Part of the excitement of life is trying new things don't you agree?
Here's a new thing I tried this year...I joined our neighborhood community garden!  I don't know anything about gardening!  However, the community garden crew told me that I didn't need to know a lot about gardening to participate.  I just had to pay a small membership fee and agree to volunteer time at the garden once a week.  This sounded fun!

Here is experienced gardener Bala.  He was so kind to share some interesting information with me on one of the weeks that I went to volunteer.  I was very excited to learn from him about planting potatoes.  Potatoes are one of my most favourite foods!

Here's some of the harvest I have been able to enjoy for the garden:

Volunteering at the garden has been very satisfying and I've met some lovely new friends!

I learned that the garden used to have a shed but it was destroyed in the storm earlier this season and the garden committee was looking for a way to raise some money for a new shed. 

I offered to help organize a cardmaking fundraiser.  Would you be able to support this fundraiser?  Everyone at the garden would be grateful!  Register HERE

Here's the details: Wed. Sept. 19^th 7pm: Fundraiser for the Cornell Community Garden Help support this beautiful community gem! Funds need to be raised to support the garden operating expenses (due to the wind storm they needed to replace the shed) The more attendees, the more money is raised so please invite a friend. Everyone will make 8 cards (2 of 4 designs) and all supplies are included.  No experience required! Cost: $35 RSVP deadline Sept. 5^th.  Can’t make it?  You can still support the cause. Just register and receive the completed cards.
