Volunteer Report

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.  It's hard to believe that the 4th of July is here already.

The Tremont Garden has been progressing nicely, thanks to our summertime volunteers.  Below is an email from Bonnie Wild reporting on the garden and sharing some photos of her two daughters, Abby and Grace.

Hi Robyn,

Here are some pictures that you can use if you want....we picked a good size zucchini today (about 10 inches long), and 3 beets (all about 2 inches in diameter). A few more beets may be ready by Thursday, so we are going to wait and then take them to the Heart to Heart pantry.

The garden really looks great and is going to produce lots of good vegetables and herbs. While we were there tonight, 2 families stopped over (non-tremont) and they were so impressed with the garden and asked all about it and how the school was using the vegetables....we explained.

Anyway, hope your summer is going well.

Bonnie



Thanks again to Bonnie for sending the email and pictures.  If anyone else is interested in contributing to the blog, please let me know. 

Don't forget!  Interested volunteers are meeting tonight at 7:00 pm at the garden to review the procedures for tending to the garden this summer.  The meeting shouldn't take very long, but it will be a nice way for us to get to know each other better.  Hope to see you there!
