We didn’t spend much time inside at this meeting, because we had special visitors and a lot of work to do. First, representatives from the East Bridgewater Charitable Committee at Bridgewater Savings Bank came to check out the garden and to present us with a “big check” representing their donation to the Central School Gardeners for next year. We are so grateful to the bank for supporting our mission to educate kids and families about gardening and healthy choices! (And what a fun group picture! Click on it to see it enlarged.)
We also made a special presentation to Kate Strassel, the founder of the Central School Gardeners. We have named our small octagonal flower and herb garden “Kate’s Garden” in her honor. Next time you visit the garden, check out the plaque on edge of the bed! Thanks again, Kate, for having that idea.
Otherwise, we got a lot of work done in the garden. We are really excited about our overflowing and ready to ripen strawberries, but the fact that we scared a baby bunny out of the patch during our meeting is a little disturbing. I’m sure baby bunnies LOVE strawberries, aren’t you?
We had a fun time at the East Bridgewater Garden Club’s plant sale. Thanks to Beth, Eloise, and Maya for their help!
