Thank You for the Support for the Ascension and St. Edmund Parish Gardens - July 2026

BULLETIN UPDATE ON JULY 12, 2026 - Ascension Susan Fleming Garden Update - Tuesday was the busiest garden day of the year. In the morning our team welcomed students from Nazareth Academy and shared observations of indigenous spirituality, Laudato Si’ and the science behind the solar panels of our little library. The students helped us with transplanting and building another level to one of our tomato cages. Toward evening we had our regular session of harvesting and collecting fresh produce, highlighted by the contribution of 88 pounds of kale, radishes, collards and chard.

Please share your abundance with the food pantry of our west side sharing parish, St. Simon of Cyrene, by donating on Tuesdays at 5:30 PM to the garden behind the Ascension Parish Center. Please consider helping out in the garden on Tuesdays, as well.

BULLETIN UPDATE ON JULY 5, 2026 - Ascension Susan Fleming Garden Update - Our watering volunteers are braving this heat to keep our plantings from shriveling. And the plants are responding with robust growth and flowering. Pepper plants are growing and flowering. Beans are sprouting. Okra buds are appearing. Tomato plants are poised to lift themselves upon our bed cages. We are looking forward to larger harvests in the coming weeks, but for now we are having meager harvests but a few really great donors. Please share your abundance with the food pantry of our west side sharing parish, St. Simon of Cyrene by donating on Tuesdays.
