Post #6 - July Is Flying By (July 11, 2014)

July 3rd Work Party

Led by Becky Endzell, this was a true clean up crew.  A lot of weeding, trimming, and reseeding took place.  Judy and Jerald created a protective dome for the broccoli.  Take that you wily rabbits!  Sally, Sharon, Pam and Jenna/Jen/Jennifer joined in to side dress and water all veggies.  The garden entry was beautified with the rest of the white picket fencing and the sun shone on all.

Butterflies, Caterpillars and Lady Bugs on July 7th

We had guests starting at 9:45, but the crush of little feet came in a tidal wave by 10:45.  Our young attendees totaled 82.

Our Announcement Board was created by Cheryl's grand-daughter Melanie. 

The focus was on insects, especially lady bugs.  Penny McCormick brought a donation of Lady Bugs from Bainbridge Gardens.

Craft activities included making caterpillars from egg cartons, butterflies from tissue paper, and creating either a butterfly or lady bug mirror image painting.







This was our first children's program harvest! Both radishes and peas were gathered for Fishline in Poulsbo.

Of course none of this would be possible without our Master Gardener and Poulsbo Garden Club volunteers!  Thank you all!!!!!!

Our next Children's Program will be this coming Monday, July 14th. 

The focus will be on planting in unusual containers.  Bring any strange plant holders laying around!

The next Work Party is on Thursday, July 17th from 9am - 12noon. 

It will probably include replanting from last weeks harvest and finding ways to save veggies from the rabbits.

The next Leadership Team Meeting is on Monday, July 21st from 1 - 3 in the Children's Garden.

Come one, come all and join us to help tackle a plan to fill the garden's needs.
