The Anna Smith Garden is in full gear this August with wonderful weather and lots of activities. Our vegetable beds produced a trunk load of produce for the Food Bank, and little harvesters were pleased to be able to pull carrots and radishes from their one foot square beds.
Our local Noxious Weed Coordinator led the children’s event last week and was able to make weeds quite exciting! Dana Coggin explained the damage done to the environment by noxious weed invasion. She showed the children how displacement of native plants by noxious weeds ultimately affected bugs, fish and other wildlife in a negative way.
Master Gardeners spent most of last week making the garden especially attractive for our guests at the annual Open House. Tours were given during the Open House and a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place to celebrate the inclusion of the new butterfly habitat in our Children’s Garden. All in all a successful and gratifying two weeks for the Master Gardeners and our visitors!

Dear Miss Ann,
I am impressed in your children’s park/garden. It is very awesome. Truly the kids and even the adults will learn to grow thier own herbs and veggies. Why have you chosen orange thum when we have the greenthumb for the good / best people in planting?
I am also thinking of my own children’s park or garden and I also chose orange as my color but I will combioned it with green if OK. Would it be OK if I will use your project as a model. It might have some similarity when materialized. I’m still in planning perid.
Thanks for the great ideas of the garden and the lots of things in making a garden.
Cel
