2021

Now that many of our members are vaccinated, we will be more active in community gardens this year.  We will take on some beds in the Roosevelt Rose Gardens as well as Callahan House, OUR Center, and Central Elementary.

2020

Although our community gardening projects were largely curtailed in 2020 due to Covid, we did create a new garden in the east and south sides of Central Elementary School in Longmont.  It is populated with myriad bulbs and perennials which will look beautiful for years to come.  We also helped out at the OUR Center gardens, and harvested a bounty of vegetables for their kitchen.  Callahan House north bed cleanup is always a favorite, with many members coming to help out.

2019                                                                                                                                           

In the first 2 pictures, on Friday the 24th of May, with the help of Hoe & Hope volunteers, Janell and JoAnn, and Dudley of the Our center, they planted  all  the Growing Gardens donated plants which included  3 variety of tomatoes,  tomatillos,  4 variety of peppers,  cucumbers,  and herbs.

Earlier in May, in Picture # 3 , Don helped with getting the drip system up and running in the garden. He also helped plant a variety of vegetables.
