What's Been Going On

Look how much has come up since the last time we posted.

There are delicious zucchini's and broccoli ready... pretty amazing how

with love and care everything just blossomed!

Thanks to you who helped and worked so hard.

Growing Strong

The garden has been coming together quite nicely.

We have some delicious pea's, our zucchini is in flower and looking so lovely and we even have some baby peppers growing which makes us so happy. The garden is flourishing, and beyond that we couldn't ask for much more, we're getting the perfect amount of warmth, sun, and occasional rain.

Last night I planted more greens and guess what... the temperatures have dropped and now

the seedlings will have just the right weather to sprout well.

Strawberries finally are turning red... I hope we can get to them before the little garden critters eat them.

 Celery growing, I wrapped the bottoms so that it can grow straight upwards.

Cauliflower!!!! YEY!!!

VOTING TIME IS NOW!!!

Recently we started a little children's garden called

'Busy Bee's Community Garden' 

It has flourished and grown into a beautiful plot. 

This garden was started to teach children about being an active part of 

the food growth process and so they can take pride in the 'farm to table' experience.

We also applied for the competition (poster below) and really would love for you to vote for us

so that we could win and make this garden into something that could service not only kids but people from the community.

So click on ' Gardens for Good ' this will take you to the link where

you vote for us and our fun project! 

Thank you all in advance!

We are still short on a greens which will be going in tomorrow. The image below is of our golden squash, they have grown so much this coming week I will be helping them up the trellis.

Tasty Tasty Greens

So far our garden is looking happy and green. Our spinach is doing so well and is so strong yesterday we had the privilege of spending a couple of hours weeding and watering. Planning this summer activities and spending time with each other working towards our crop being healthy and strong.

Leah, Dino, Sarah, Lidija, Angelica, Branka and I had a wonderful time in the sun with the children running around, helping us, laughing and delighting in each other company.

"All children are born artists"

There is a beauty watching 
children take ownership and pride in something that they are doing. This past weekend we got a good amount of time to work in and for our garden. We even found the time to paint signs on the pieces of wood we recycled from the old picnic tables. Each vegetable will have it's own little sign and picture created by our very own artists and gardeners. When you see a child running her hands through the sun warmed soil happily enjoying its softness you can't help but smile at there sincerity and beauty. 

As an adult I learn something new from them every time I am in their presence, I see things with new eyes and it refreshes me, helps me breath. 

Giving each child an opportunity to play a role in this garden, no matter what it may be is never a small role but rather a vital role in the growth of our garden.The point of it is to touch each and every one of them with the beauty that being a part of nature allows.

"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises."
