From The Garden

October has been an awesome month in the garden.   91 volunteers for 289 hours by 28 individuals.  Record breaking-  even more than last year.  All thanks to our wonderful Lake Travis High School Team and neighbors, we have picked up 14 new volunteers.  

As far as production goes, we have already surpassed last years totals.  We have also started harvesting from the fall garden and summer garden is still winding down.  

Other accomplishments for October are we are now working out of our newly installed shed which is secured behind a a fully intact fence.  

We have altered the original plan to include a memorial orchard for fresh fruit and berries and are working to get that started in the next month.  All 12 4x4 beds are completed and 3 new elevated beds will hopefully become active in November.  

 

God is good!

Farmacy Work Days


Farmacy Volunteers Needed!  "Fall Plant" is under way.  Workdays every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month from 8am to 11am.  If you would like to volunteer during the week please contact Clara Kistner at clarakistner@hotmail.com.  


All ages welcome, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring water, gloves, gardening tools, big shovels and a positive attitude. No experience necessary. 

Shortly, we will be moving on to Phase 2 of the garden space. This space will be designated to educate the children, provide  beds for those that are physically challenged and to open up space for those who live in the community to have their own garden space.  New to the garden plan will be a memorial orchard, stay tuned for more details!

We believe we can change the world through Outreach and Mission.

Finally, we strive to create volunteer & learning opportunities for community members of all ages.  Whether you can volunteer your talent, time, or
