It's Citrus Season
Our garden continues to bloom this fall as we get ready to harvest the the kumquats and oranges. The warm weather has extended our growing season and allowed our butterfly garden to continue to flourish. Bees, butterfly and other flowering insects are vital to our ecosystem and enjoy all of the different flower species we have for them to pollinate.
The Giving Garden
The Community Garden was started as a way to supply the Food Pantry with fresh produce. Over time, its purpose has evolved and expanded and today it serves many purposes. It houses several raised garden beds which are planted with a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowering plants. The garden sitting area provides a wonderful spot for quiet contemplation and reflection and is a popular respite for residents of the Men's Housing Program. Day to day the garden is tended to by staff, volunteers and residents of the Men's Housing Program.
The Garden is always in need of supplies and attention
