Community Gardens September Update

Wallisch Community Gardens

The growing season at the Wallisch Homestead organic community garden is blooming!

Our social coordinator, Jean, organized a beautiful new moon party on August 16th. We gathered to share, scribe and bury our intentions. Planting new seeds, a traditional new moon activity, was an added bonus to celebrate the event.

We may not see them on a regular basis, but many volunteers have been keeping our property well maintained. We’d like to off our many thanks to:

  • Donna, Neil and Jim for keeping the grass mowed and whacked

  • Dori for keeping the water tank filled

  • David and Mary Beth for fixing the gates

  • Sierra for planting the flowers along the borders

  • Jean for organizing our social gatherings


Culinary Herb Program

Our culinary herbs are gaining strength. The basil, mint and parsley is filling out quite well. Our Culinary Herb pilot program will be with two restaurants over the course of three weeks this month. We are setting a good foundation for next year.
