Bountiful beginnings
Although spring has been slow to start, we have officially made it out of the hard frost/freeze zone, which means our gardens are ready for planting. By the end of last week we planted 1,496 plants and an estimated 1,000 seeds with more going in this week. It is our most ambitious year to date in both the diversity of our planting and square footage. We’re looking forward to serving up delicious meals in the Garden Café using freshly-harvested ingredients this summer!
