In the early spring the daffodils and tulips start to poke out of the ground...the 2 lilac bushes begin their blooms soon after. During mid-May, I begin to add veggie, herb, and annual plantings. Also, my parents bring in boxes of dahlia tubers that have been stored in the suburbs over the winter. By July the garden is coming up in full force and the tomatoes are ripening by early August. No matter what time of the gardening season, the patio is open and shaded by a large cafe umbrella - a great setting for an open air lunch with friends or family.

Lisa and I were lucky enough to have made it onto this extra tour. It was great to see how many new community gardens were created in the last year. All were well organized and funded (with member donations as well as corporate sponsorships). Most incorporated rain barrels, composting, and food donations. Lots of great community gardening going on in Georgia!

Great history of this important park. As important as victory gardens were during WWII, you explained why community gardens are invaluable today, and not just because of their beauty!

I hope to visit Boston again in late August, just in time to enjoy the fruits (or rather, the vegetables) of your labor! Seriously, this is what the Fenway's all about (not just the Red Sox)...good work, Kristen ;)
