First Cutting of Market Flowers

Labels: 2008 May, flowers, Janet, market garden

These flowers are beautiful. We harvested them to sale to Incahoots. 10 stems of Delphinium and about 30 stems of Foxglove. Don from the Sage Restaurant also came down to day and harvested his first herbs. He said they would be having a fennel soup as a lunch special today. Yummy!

a little history

The Community Garden was started in 2002 as a joint project between McMinnville Salvation Army and a group of community volunteers. The vision was to help families in need grow their own food, to provide fresh produce for the food pantry boxes and to help families learn new self-sufficiency skills. Over the years the garden has evolved into a partnered venture with the Yamhill County Master Gardeners Association to further enhance the learning opportunities for all garden volunteers. It has also become self-supporting by selling herbs, flowers and other plants grown at the garden .
