Look what AJ and Denise made with the marigold flower heads from the garden!
As we worked to winterize the garden, we picked the various marigold flowers that were in full bloom.
We pushed a needle and thread through each flower head and then hung the homegrown streamer to add a festive vibe for Sunday’s Halloween celebration.
With luck they will last until November 1st and 2nd for Dia de Meurtos or the Day of the Dead.
Happy Halloween!

The garden committee is looking to expand! Are you interested in being more involved with planning, fundraising, running activities and troubleshooting?
Maybe you are more of a worker bee, who can step up once or twice a week to do one of many small daily tasks required, such as watering or checking the irrigation timer? We need you too!
This April, we hope to hold a seed-starting workshop, snap pea planting activities, flower transplanting and more — but we cannot do these things without community participation and volunteers.
CVEarthlab is a self-funded, community vegetable garden open to all residents of Concord Village, with or without small children. We welcome all ages and all experience levels. Over the years we’ve found that the more people who participate, the easier and more fun it is. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Please send an email to CVearthlab@gmail.com for more information.

Each day the volume of gianormous squash leaves increases, noodle bean runners climb higher and corn stalks grow taller. Its not shown here, but the flowers on the 4th Sister, the sunflower, have started to open. Way to go, girls!
