Calling All Gardeners!

COMMUNITY GARDEN NEWS

Our Community Garden was a great success this year! We grew tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, celery, corn, and cantaloupe. Our donations were harvested and brought to area food banks and soup kitchens, where these donations were sometimes the only source of fresh produce.

Our efforts were slightly hampered by hot, dry weather, rogue wild morning glories, and weeds, however, our hearty band of volunteers kept working!

Thanks go out to Kathy Zukof, Harold Berger, Carrie Ritchin, Danielle Shecter, and Ruth Turner. Roberto, our building caretaker, helped tremendously by delivering mulch to constrain the weeds, and redesigning the sprinkler system for better coverage. Thanks so much to Iris Greenberg, who helps with all of the communication and funding. Ron Javer and Jonathan Theodore also helped by spreading over thirty bags of mulch this spring, helping keep the weeds down.

If you would like to volunteer next season, please contact the BHHS office.

Any questions, please contact Jill at [email protected]

See you in the garden and thank you for all your support!
