Temperatures are rising, the sap is flowing, seeds have arrived for ~40,000 culturally important starts, and community garden registration begins next week. This all means one thing: The growing season is right around the corner!
The ground may be frozen and farms blanketed in snow, but Cultivating Community’s staff are hard at work preparing for the season ahead.
August is the peak season for local growers. With abundant produce available at local markets it’s also the perfect time to celebrate last week’s National Farmers Market Week.
As Cultivating Community welcomes autumn and celebrates the harvest, we are reflecting on what has been a challenging growing season and a summer of renewal.
Though the soggy soil may disagree, it’s officially summer across Cultivating Community’s programs. Find out more about our work and ways to get involved.
Winter may be a time for slowing down, but at Cultivating Community we are just getting warmed up as staff and new leadership reflect on lessons learned from the growing season.
