Our Wednesday summer classes for youth began July 1st.   Several eager planters painted pots to mark their very own one foot square vegetable garden and then happily planted radishes, carrots and beans.  A team of Anna Smith Master Gardeners presented plant life cycle information and helped the little ones sow seeds and water the plots.  We hope to see the little gardeners return regularly to observe the progress and eventually harvest their vegetables.    We’ll encourage them to donate some to the Food Bank. The Master Gardeners are currently supplying the Food Bank with wonderful lettuce, radishes and beets!�
Another highlight for the week at ASG was the installation of some of our newly acquired and sorely needed Demonstration Garden signs.   Park visitors will greatly appreciate these informative additions.
Our new Butterfly habitat is fully planted and populated and we eagerly await the 2nd summer class next week where the habitat will be the focal point!
