You are invited to an Open House at The Greenhouse,

114 New York Avenue

on Sunday, April 14, to celebrate Spring.

From 12:30-3:30

Spring flowers are blooming and that means the greenhouse is warm and green.  We have plenty of greens to pick and flowers to take home.  Our alyssum and pansies are outside hardening off and waiting to find a home.  We also have some perennial flowers and butterfly bush for those of us who can't wait to start planting.
Have you been learning about permaculture?  Come see our worm tower and the amazing plants that it has produced.  It is an old plastic tub and uses waste PVC for the tower. It makes an easy way to compost food waste like melon rinds and also composts paper and leaves.  The happy worms travel from the tower to the soil and fertilize the plants.

Come Celebrate

 

After a successful spring and summer season the greenhouse is greeting the fall with a pig roast fund raiser. We are inviting the community to join us. There will be good food and a silent auction. The greenhouse has much to celebrate.  We have a new poly roof, one new fan and 140 members. 



Annual Spring Plant Sale

This past winter, the greenhouse crew was working hard to put together a bonanza of flowers and vegetables for our Vineyard Gardens.  Membership has been actively starting cuttings and seedlings and the greenhouse is bursting with color.  There are hanging baskets of every color, and  pots of flowers and greenery for window boxes.  Kale, lettuce, and tatsoi are hardened off and ready to plant and of course there are tomatoes.  There are 40 varieties of tomatoes this year.  We have heirloom and hybrid, determinate and indeterminate.  We have red, yellow, orange, and purple and of course everybody's favorite cherry tomato, Sungold.



Geraniums a greenhouse favorite are selling fast.

Fall Festivities

The Greenhouse is celebrating fall with a Pig Roast Dinner.

The pig was donated by Scapegoats Goatscaping and being prepared by Chef Deon.  This is truly a cooperative event that help us fundraise for a new roof.  The greenhouse is growing plenty of lettuce and other greens for a sample of our bountiful Greenhouse salads. 

We are also asking local community members to provide music and items for a silent auction.

Members are setting up and waiting tables.  Interested?  email: diane_sylvia2000@yahoo.com

Spring Plant Sale

It has been another amazing year of friendship and growing at the greenhouse.  And the members have been busier than ever.  We still have all the awesome tomatoes but we have new friendships blooming.  There are many new members and many new flowers, lantana and blue fan flower, cosmos and zinnia of various colors and heights, marigolds in yellow, orange and gold.
Members have been picking greens all winter; kale, swiss chard, frisee, lettuce and radishes have made many a delicious salad for working members to enjoy.  We have been meeting on Wednesdays and Saturdays at about 10:00.

Spring Plant Sale

Hillbilly Tomatoes waiting for a home !  Beautiful red, pink beefsteak streaked with yellow and orange.  This is just one of the many choices of heirloom tomatoes available.  Also there are hot and sweet peppers.  Jimmy Nardello, Yummy, and Alma Paprika are some of my favorites. 
The Spring Sale begins May 9th and lasts for the month. 
Everybody expects tomatoes, eggplants and peppers from the Greenhouse but this year we also have a great assortment of flowers and hanging baskets.  The members have been busy starting the tiny seeds and transplanting them into their pots where they wait for their final home.  On Wednesdays, the volunteers make soup and salad for lunch and share their plant knowledge.

Fall Festival

The Greenhouse is gearing up for its Fall Festival.  We will be working on Wednesday to spruce up the house and plant the rest of the lettuce.  We need volunteers for baking, and manning the booths.
