Fall Harvest, Flowers and More....


-Did you know a number of our gardens donate food to Northwest Harvest and the Cherry Street Food Bank?  This year we have had a great harvest and have been able to donate quite a bit.  http://www.northwestharvest.org/cherry-street-food-bank

-Although we have a lot of vegetable gardeners, there are also some amazing flowers.  This Dahlia, grown in our garden, is just one example of the variety of flowers our gardeners have planted this year.   Please come visit but please remember to leave the flowers behind for others to enjoy!

-As the summer turns to fall, many of our gardens will be putting in cover crops, some of which will be edible.  Did you know that an edible cover crop can provide vital nutrients for your garden's soil?  http://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/node/911
