Experiences It's happening right now – Week 34

The warm late summer weather continues, and when rain comes along, it gives new energy to the plants – including the weeds. They are working hard to remove them.
Many have requested the plant sale at the Gardener's House, so it has now been established as a prelude to the Garden's plant market on August 27th from 10 am to 2 pm.
