March Garden Work Day - Getting ready for Spring!!!






With spring just around the corner, our gardeners joined together for our opening garden work day. We cleaned up, cut up, built up and cracked up! This is my favorite time in the garden when every bed is a blank canvas. What we choose individually and collectively to plant transforms the garden each year. This breezy, sunny March morning was the perfect weather for the work we did.

We are rebuilding or shoring up some of the older beds over the next several months. After the ninth year of our original beds, some need some help! We also cleared vines from behind and around the mural and got it standing back up a little straighter than it has been for a few years.

As is our tradition, we enjoyed a pot-luck lunch after our work day. We enjoyed corn chowder, smoked salmon, potato salad and cornbread. Eating lunch together in the beautiful space we continue to curate is the perfect ending to a perfect garden work day!
