Planting Party: Game ON! Sunday, Sept. 9 at 5:00 p.m.


Hello Gardeners!

We have a truck full of fall vegetables ready for planting! Courtesy of the Tarrant Area Food Bank and Archie's Greenland of Fort Worth, our order has arrived and is ready to go. We have plenty of plants for everyone--and will disburse them on a first-come, first-served basis tomorrow evening (Sunday, Sept. 9) at the youth garden mission event/planting party, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Whether you have a bed or want to help with the communal area, you are welcome to join us!

Also, Rosie from Archie's Greenland graciously donated a cross vine to plant on the trellis of our garden cottage. The cottage, as many of you know, was funded by a donation from the Damon family in honor of Carol Damon. The cross vine has beautiful orange-yellow flowers (via special request from Toly) and will be a lovely addition to the garden. We will plant the vine tomorrow night and discuss plans for a memorial plaque to display next to the cottage.

The following are the plants we have available. You'll want to consider the size requirements for each plant, and plan your beds accordingly. Of course, you're always welcome to provide your own seeds/seedlings. To help you plan, I've listed some helpful garden planning sites below the list of our plant order.

See you tomorrow night!

Cheers,
Britta
