Fall rain (and a wrap) on Blessings Garden

The season has a colorful ending

It was a lovely miszley day as the morning crew cleaned up and secured the irrigation hose for next spring. Cleaning the remaining beds continued in the afternoon.


This garden is part of the community. Church members, volunteers, and the PT Foodbank benefit from the skills and dedication of its founders and volunteers.
Especially if you live in the SanJuan/Umatila neighborhood, please consider volunteering.


Yesterday’s dahlias brighten our home as we begin to enter a much needed rainy season!!


Thanks!


Kathy Ryan

Quimper Grange is located at 1219 Corona Ave, Port Townsend, WA 98368. Granges (derived from ‘grain’ or ‘granja’ [farm]) were grassroots organizations that sprung up across the US in the 1860's to build strength and community among rural farmers. For over 100 years, the Quimper Grange has supported the Jefferson County community through public programming, concerts, dance, rental space, and a 7,000 sq. ft. all-volunteer Food Bank Growers garden, donating over 2,000 lbs. of fresh produce annually to food banks and other entities around our area.

It celebrated growing with songs like “The Farmer Feeds Us All” and “Cultivator” and “The Hand That Holds the Bread.” .
