snow covers (hoping the grass is gone)
I know it's still very much winter, but there's something about the New Year that energizes me. Maybe it's all the resolutions I see on facebook or the fact that my calendar still looks like I have room for more. Somehow, I feel more inclined to action than I did a week ago.
If you visit The Faith Garden (or just about any garden around here), you won't see much. Snow covers. And this winter, snow insulates and holds in moisture. Hopefully, by the time the snow has melted, time and microorganisms will have completed their work and there won't be any evidence of all the cardboard and newspapers we laid down. And if we've been successful, there won't be any evidence of grass, either! If you worked in the garden last season, you know our most pervasive weed was grass. Though Lasagna Gardening is no proven science, there are plenty of practicing believers that we trusted this past year.

fall tuck in
This Saturday, 22 September, we will be tucking in the beds for the winter. In an attempt to kill the grass once and for all, we'll be trying a modified version of lasagna gardening. We'll also give the compost pile a good stir, chase some rabbits and enjoy homemade breakfast breads. This is definitely a kid friendly day, so bring the whole family! Hope to see you then!

a new spring
It's been a gentle winter, and now a new season is pushing its way through our busy schedules! Our Spring Kick-Off is scheduled for Saturday, 12 May at 2pm. Share the fun with your family as we transplant seedlings, sow seeds and more. We will have refreshments and cold beverages. Please bring your gardening tools. We look forward to seeing you there!
