Next Gardening Meeting & Article on Community Gardens

The next neighborhood gardeners' get-together will be hosted by Ken Jones at 1002 Washington Street this Saturday, March 14th, from 9-11am. The focus will be on seed starting, and as Ken has a pretty extensive indoor seedling set-up, it will be a great kick-start to the rest of us to see his tricks and tools and get an idea of how he does it!

The warm weather lately is a sure sign that Spring is close at hand, if not here already, so the time is now to get our seedlings started.  Below is an article from the Morning Call on community gardens in the Lehigh Valley and how this year more than ever, neighborhoods all over the valley are getting into community gardening--both as a inexpensive and healthy way to grow food, and to promote social interaction among gardeners within neighborhoods.


See you Saturday at Ken's!
