FALL is an excellent time to plant perennials and native plants, as the cooler temperatures and autumn rains provide ideal growing conditions. Additionally, planting in the fall allows the roots to develop during the winter, promoting vigorous growth in the spring.

Come Join Us!   Saturday, October 11^th from 8:30 to 11:00

Meet us at Carmine City Hall for a fun day of hands-on work in our community garden.
