WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME EVERYONE HAD AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN ON THE 12TH - OUR FIRST EVER HARVEST FESTIVAL COMBINED WITH OUR ANNUAL POP-UP FALL PLANT SALE ~ FOR AN EXPERIMENT, IT CERTAINLY TURNED OUT WELL, EVEN WITH THE ON AND OFF DRIZZLE WE COASTAL OREGONIANS HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO!
WITHOUT THE GENEROSITY OF THOSE WHO DROPPED OFF LOAD AFTER LOAD OF PLANTS, CUTTINGS, SUCCULENTS, TREE STARTS AND BULBS, WE WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER OUR COMMUNITY...
AND WE NOTICED THE RECURRING THEME AT THE PLANT SALE WAS THE THINNING OUT OUR OWN GARDENS/YARDS/GREEN HOUSES IS OUR WAY OF SHARING AND SPREADING OUR LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE OF GARDENING WITH OUR COMMUNITY ~ THE LOOKS ON THE FACES OF YOUNG COUPLES IN NEW HOUSES WITH BARE NAKED YARDS WHO WERE LOOKING TO US FOR GUIDIANCE WAS THE BEST FEELING EVER ~ AND IT'S EXACTLY WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO!
THE ADDITION OF A HARVEST FESTIVAL EVENT WAS A GRAND IDEA, AND OUR GARDEN GUESTS SEEMED TO ENJOY THE 20 DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF COOKIES AND THE HOT MULLED CIDER WE BREWED UP ~
THEN THERE WAS A PHOTO BOOTH (WHICH WAS FUN) ALONG WITH A FACE PAINTING TABLE & WOODEN PUMPKIN PAINTING TABLE.
WE FOUND A FEW NEW 'ARTISTS' IN OUR CLUB AND IT GAVE US, AS MEMBERS, THE TIME WE CHERISH ~ TO HANG OUT WITH OUR GARDENING FRIENDS AND BE WITH PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT. MANY OF US ROAMED THE GARDEN WITH OUR OWN UNICORN, BUTTERFLY AND PUMPKIN PAINTED FACES ~ THE KIDS LOVED THAT WE ALL LET OUR INNER CHILD OUT FOR THE DAY!!!
IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE ~ SEEING CHILDREN AND ADULTS OF ALL AGES, HAVING FUN AND LEARING HOW VERY COOL IT FEELS TO BE ABLE TO GROW SOMETHING GREEN THEMSELVES!!!
WE HAD FUN CHOOSING A VARIETY OF PUMPKINS TO DECORATE OUR HARFEST FESTIVAL PHOTO BOOTH DOWN AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN FOR OUR OCTOBER 12TH EVENT - HAL & LORI PANTER KINDLY DONATED A GIFT CERTIFICATE SO WE COULD DECK OUR BOOTH OUT IN STYLE -
