Summer is drawing to a close which means we're gearing up for the high holidays and the return of school-groups to the garden! The past couple of months have been extremely hot, but with the help of our dedicated volunteers and countless trips down to the stream, our plants have pushed through! And while Sukkot, the harvest festival, doesn't begin for another few weeks, our harvest is well underway. Here are some photos of what's been growing in our space (plant and critter alike) and what's already been harvested.
