Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been so long since I have posted here so I thought I'd just send some holiday greetings by showing everyone a photo of one of the types of projects I am hoping to develop as part of the Giving Gardener's.

This is a pumpkin centerpiece I just finished making using locally grown flowers and a locally grown pumpkin as well as some fall decorations from Joann's.


I am hoping we can get the Giving Gardener's going full steam after the first of the year to help bring cheer to those who need it, and fresh produce to those who are hungry. If you listen to the stories on the news this week, the number of people needing food assistance has grown dramatically in the South Bay (nationwide really) due to the economic downturn.

As you have your Thanksgiving dinner, think about those in need and how we can help them. One way is to grow more fresh fruits and vegetables to help!
