Hello,

I hope that you are finding JOY in nature and gardening this week. It has definitely brought smiles to the residents of a high rise in Hazelwood, thanks to the time and generosity of Suzanne Good. Be sure to see the details of this Good Gardening News at the end of the newsletter.

Our crop of fall mums and other fall annuals should be ready in about 2 weeks or so. Fall pansies are usually after Labor Day, and by mid-September at the latest. For now, ENJOY the rest of summer! Technically we have five more weeks of it 🙂
