Hi all:
If you would like to join the fun, please let me know and I'll reserve a plot for you. And please spread the word. In addition to just digging, weeding and watering, we are beginning to put thoughts together on a series of events at the garden, both educational and fun. As always, your ideas are most welcome.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,
Peter
