Hi Friends,
Slightly cooler days bring hope that our gardens will start to thrive again after this most brutal summer. Hugs to all who are dealing with loss right now. Special thoughts for you, and for those who have moved to Oregon and other areas affected by wildfires. We are gardening on Sundays at 7 a.m. for the rest of this month. In October we'll switch to 8 a.m. You'll find a September planting guide below. If you want to watch a wonderful movie with lots of inspiration and hope for gardens , one of our gardeners reminded me of The Biggest Little Farm. You may have to rent it , but it is worth watching. The next Zoom meeting is September 22th at 7 P.M. A little early this month because of a conflict with the first presidential debate on the final Tuesday of the month. Happy Gardening, Linda Ahwatukee Community Garden Project Coordinator Linda Rominger is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Ahwatukee Community Garden BeautyI started coming to the Sunday gardening group in the fall of 2013. I've learned a lot and have forged new friendships with other earth lovers. Master Gardeners Linda and Bob have so much knowledge they freely give the rest of us! Bill and I became Master Gardeners as well in 2014 ~ Kelly Athena Archives
