Today we went to the Bethel Garden Fair and learned a lot about the importance of pollinators in gardens. Everyone that was working there was so friendly and eager to share their knowledge with us. We even came back with some goodies of our own, borage and cat mint, which will be planted in the garden this week. One of the highlights of the garden fair was seeing a monarch butterfly in its larva, chrysalis and adult stage. It's amazing how beneficial they are and hopefully our new plants will help attract some more butterflies and bees.
July is right around the corner so that means more planting! This week we are planting our squash row and next week we will sow our carrot, beet, swiss chard, kale seeds. And don't forget! Lunch in the Garden is this Thursday, July 2, at 12pm, so grab your lunches and come join us outside!
