Dear Members & Friends, Garden by the Sea is excited to welcome the community to our 15th Annual Garden Opening for the 2023 growing season. My, the last 15 years have gone by fast…I guess it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun!
Please join in on the “fun” at the community garden opening celebration on April 1st (10am to 1:00pm). Come take a tour of the garden, rent a plot, or just shop for plants & garden supplies. At noon there will be a talk on “Successful Gardening in Raised Beds” by two of our local master gardeners. More opening details are in the links below. Remember, new gardeners will need an appointment for April 1st to rent a plot but everyone else can drop by anytime.
Wishing you a warm spring, and all the best for a fruitful and rewarding garden this year. 🌱🌺🥬🌻 Karen Young, President

A New Beginning

Life, like our garden, is constantly changing. Each new season brings forth opportunities and challenges but our hope remains the same: ”May the sunshine always fall upon you. May the rains gently bless all you grow. May the seeds you plant grow strong and sturdy to harvest. And may the deer (only) eat the weeds that dare to grow in your garden and never go near the toil of your hands!”
Yes, Spring is actually on the way. Even that winter rain, snow, and ice storm cannot. . .
