Speaking of planters, Common Ground Garden Community has quickly outgrown their original collective desire to simply spruce up a few overlooked planters in advance of Cheese Days 2016, and no untended patch of soil is safe from their ministrations, as borne out by Toledo’s Post Office flagpole corner, now dubbed River’s Edge Garden.

Reminder: Brooke writes: Hi all, there is Garden Club (at Toledo Elementary School) Tuesday morning July 12 from 8:30-10 a.m. If possible, please get your child a good pair of rubber palmed garden gloves. We have a lot of thistle to deal with. We will also be planting some asparagus and strawberries and installing the rest of our sponsor signs. It will be a busy morning. I look forward to seeing you all there! As always, parent volunteers are welcome.
