A great time was had by all

It was a fantastic afternoon in the garden for the 2nd Annual Seminole Heights Garden Tour. The weather behaved, the plants behaved, and we had more than 70 people visit our little garden.

Is it fall yet?

Of course it is, technically, but these 90 degree days make it a little tough to do our fall planting. But plant we must – and here’s a quick rundown of everything else that’s happening this month:

  • Tues. 10/16 – monthly garden meeting will start promptly at 6:30pm, at the Seminole Heights Branch of the library (address in the calendar>>)
  • Sat. 10/20 – we’re gardening, and yoga is at 9:30am
  • Sat. 10/27 – gardening, yoga at 9:30am and last minute tidying of the garden because…
  • Sun. 10/28 – We’re a stop on the Seminole Heights Garden Tour! This is one of the rare times when we’re open on a Sunday. Get a ticket for the tour and come see how we’ve grown. Tour is from 1 – 5pm.

Yoga in the Garden

Yoga in the Garden is happening every Saturday! Tish Ganey, Registered Yoga Teacher and owner of Take Me To The River Yoga Studio invites you to a 30-minute session at the community garden on Saturdays, 9:30 to 10:00 am, at 6114 River Terrace. This is an excellent introduction to yoga’s benefits to both mind and body… Tish will take you through a basic routine of standing poses, teaching and training. No mats are required, but shoes (any kind) are recommended. Donations are accepted and support the community garden.

Join us!

 

Children in the Garden (for ages 4 – 9)

Children ages 4 – 9 will learn how to grow a garden and participate in garden related crafts and games. Parents who do not need to directly supervise their child can help out with other gardening tasks, or relax and get to know your gardening neighbors! Please RSVP to carolynadler@rocketmail.com so we can plan to have enough supplies.

We will meet 10am – 11am on the following Saturdays:

March 10 / March 31 / April 14 (part of Art in the Garden) / April 28 / May 12

Yoga in the Garden

Tish Ganey, Registered Yoga Teacher and owner of Take Me To The River Yoga Studio invites you to a 30-minute session at the community garden on Saturdays, 8:30 to 9:00 am. This is an excellent introduction to yoga’s benefits to both mind and body…

Tish will take you through a basic routine of standing poses, teaching and training. No mats are required, but shoes (any kind) are recommended.

Her Yoga In The Garden begins March 3, and she returns March 24 and 31. Tish is reaching out to other local yogis to cover March 10 and 17, so it’s hoped that a yoga in the garden experience can soon become a regular part of your week.

Her certifications and professional experience teaching yoga is extensive, so we think you’ll find these Saturday sessions to be wonderfully rewarding. Each class is offered on a donation basis, with the proceeds supporting continuation of the Seminole Heights Community Garden.

See you bright and early, Saturday March 3!

Join us for Brunch in the Garden

It’s time to put down our tools and enjoy our new space.

Please join us 10am – 12pm on Saturday February 17th at 6114 River Terrace.  Bring a dish to share, and BYOP – bring your own plate, utensils and glass or water bottle. In the effort to be more sustainable we ask that everyone take out of the garden what they bring in, so come prepared!

See you at brunch next weekend!
