Hey Gardeners!

Happy Friday!!!  Hope you all had a wonderful week!  Community Garden Connections started the week off with a productive and informative staff meeting.  We have lots of exciting events planned out for folks for the remainder of August and the start of September.  Our Harvest Festival is in the making!  Stay tuned for more updates in the future!

We think the best way to start off the weekend is with a DELICIOUS recipe… get your cutting boards ready for this Tomato Cucumber Salad.
