Cold weather? No problem!

Just because the weather has cooled down (significantly) doesn’t mean that HdV has slowed down. New projects and community happenings are still occurring almost daily at the garden. Our produce variety has definitely shifted gears with lots of gardeners harvesting various kinds of squashes, pumpkins, gourds, and corn in all different colors. Although we won’t open any new phases until the New Year the plots we have now are thriving giving us a chance to focus a little more on the development of the intensive growing area. Just recently we received a very generous donation of strawberries along with a “strawberry planting lesson” from Don Raphael who owns a strawberry field just up the road (Euclid and the 60fwy) from the garden. 
​
The lesson was a wonderful learning experience that now we can share with current and future garden members- BIG thanks to Don Raphael for the great gift!! Also, the youth program continues to grow strong by adding new members, developing different learning techniques, and focusing on youth empowerment. Be sure to check out their event on SATURDAY DEC. 14th here at the garden from 1pm- 4pm. If you haven’t been around the garden lately- come by! There are always things to do and we’d love to have you! And if you’re a garden regular, thanks for keeping the project going strong!
