After many challenges,
our first garden site took off!
It was planted before a
drought in the midst of Summer,
it was cut twice by city workers,
and it was rarely watered.
But it is now thriving!

The brilliant pink
flowers are Bee Balm.
It's in the mint family....
the flowers make a tasty
garnish to your salad.

Our focus is to use
edible, medicinal, and native
plants that need no maintenance.
Oregano seemd like a great addition!
Here it is in full
bloom.

The Fennel is the
feathery brownish/bronze
plant in the middle.
The wild onions to the right
are volunteers!

Most of the plants in
this first garden are in the
mint family. They include
Spearmint, Chocolate Mint,
Lemon Balm, and more.

Here is a baby
Rosemary plant. Within two
months, it more than
quadrupled in size!
What a happy plant!

And here is a
baby Sage plant.
It is also very, very
happy....it has
grown, and grown,
and grown!

We're off the a
terrific start! The first
garden is so happy!
And this is only
the beginning...
