Concord Village EarthLab

Nearly 50 people came out Saturday evening to celebrate the harvest from the 2017 season. We shared dozens of dishes incorporating tomatoes, garlic, cucumbers, and herbs from the garden, including frittatas, noodles, salads as well as salsas, spreads, and more.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of these and other Concord Village residents, we raised over $400. for the 2018 garden season. In addition, we harvested at least as many sunflower seeds as dollars from the giant flowers grown on CV grounds.

Funds will go toward soil replenishment and replacement beds.  To learn more about annual expenses, and membership, on What It Means To Be A Member.  If you’d like to get email notifications when there are new posts on the blog, CVEarthlab.com, be sure to enter your address in the box that appears on the right hand side of the home page.  The header will invite you to signup to follow CVEarthlab.com via email.

And don’t forget to let us know what you’ll be making or bringing!    Members of the garden committee invite you to harvest some herbs from the garden and use them in a potluck dish to share. (Ingredients include: basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, lavender, Tulsi (Holy Basil), anise hyssop and garlic.)

This year’s theme is SUNFLOWERS! Attendees will be invited to pull seeds and dry seeds from the large flowers grown this year. (Note: Activity will likely end by 5pm)

If you’d like to help the garden grow, we invite you to donate money at the event.
