Apple Acres

Apple Acres is proud to have—yet again—received the second place award for best community gardens at Dirt’s 14th annual Kitchen Garden Tour on Sunday, July 28.  Congratulations to all of the gardeners and volunteers who helped make this happen!


Wallisch Homestead

In our first Hands On Garden Series—Natural Pest Control, Courtney Sands encouraged participants to learn about what bugs are helpful and which ones are a problem in our organic gardens. Courtney shared companion planting approaches as well as natural pest control recipes to make at home. Participants left with a kit that included organic dill seeds, garlic spray and orange peel spray, as well as directions on how to make their own.
