Some of our gardeners have started planting cool-season vegetables. While the beds look mostly bare, important work is happening in the soil. Meanwhile, our peach trees are really showing off. The other fruit trees won't be far behind.

For all you folks who love (learning about) plants ... Did you know that the Logan area has three rare species of Utah native plants? Maguire's primrose, Cronquist's daisy, and Frank Smith violet.

Many thanks to the volunteers who promoted Hope Community Garden at the Seed Swap & Plant Exchange held at the Logan Library this afternoon. It's always great to connect with fellow plant lovers. Some visitors learned about Hope Community Garden for the first time, and our volunteers were ready to answer all questions. Good work; thank you!

The more you look, the more you'll find fellow plant lovers in our community. And a variety of opportunities to connect with and learn from them. Here's one coming up next week:

This Saturday at the Logan Library:

Come garden with us this year. Grow some plants, meet new people. The registration link is now live. Plots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

You can volunteer to help restore native habitat at Wuda Ogwa, an important site of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone and located near Preston in southern Idaho (about an hour's drive from Logan). No prior tree-planting experience necessary; you will learn on-site. The weather forecast for next weekend looks great

Our volunteers are the best! From the folks who ordered the supplies, to the ones who cut the wood to the right lengths, to the many who showed up last Saturday to make the boxes and affix them to the existing beds -- WOW, just WOW!
