We are still harvesting LOTS of greens, herbs, spinach, and now onions. We have Mother's Day Flowers available still to "harvest" as last minute gifts! Choose from zinnias, dianthus, yellow daisy, snapdragon, and verbena (all in a variety of colors). $5.00 each or 5 for $20!

There is also a GAB meeting tonight at 7pm in the meeting room of Concord UMC. All garden members are invited to attend.

Thank you to all of our Saturday "planters" as well as all of our garden members for your help and continued support of our garden.

It WILL be good!
