Shrub Soiree event a huge hit

PHCF members hosted a srub (drinking vinegar)-making evening Sept. 12th where all who attended started shrubs from fruit, herbs and sugar with pointers from garden Coordinator Laura and Selina who also supplied ingredients and samples. A note from Laura: A very special shoutout to Selina for conceiving of the event and bringing us all together for a perfect garden evening. For those of you who attended and waled away with fruit puree and want to finish making your drinking vinegar/shrub, here are some instructions. For the more Serious among you, here’s a recipe from Serious Eats.

Shed’s getting organized!

Great progress was made on the shed organizing project this weekend!  Claire L and her intrepid group emptied and inventoried the shed, discarded some items and organized the rest. What a difference. Stay tuned for the next phase of the shed project — shelving, labels and more. 

Spring Walkthrough

Led by our Master Gardeners, a group of around 15 garden members walked through the garden to collectively put fresh eyes on what needs doing this garden season.  We identified some small projects and some big ones (like organizing the new shed and clearing the main garden paths).  It was a very uplifting way to start the season.
