What’s Blooming in Blairstown
August 2024
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW
Clara’s Back!
Clara came back for the summer again! “When you plant love it will grow.” Clara is the granddaughter of a farmer that I worked with 22 years ago… crazy! Time marches on and the connections we make grow stronger or fizzle out. So thankful that Good Hand Farm and I are still connected! Clara helped us harvest flowers, weed the beds, stamp the flower sleeves and make sure the baby barn swallows were ok every day. It was a joy to have her and we look forward to her coming back next summer.

GARDENING TIP
Take a daily walk in the garden
There is a saying that “the best fertilizer is a farmer’s footsteps.” I am a huge believer in this. Walking around the farm and truly looking at everything is the only way to know what is happening. It is the same in your garden. You have to get out there and look, observe and over time you will notice the small changes and begin to understand what is happening. Gardening, like farming is like a calling, the plants are calling you… will you answer?
See you at the farm!
