Whether it is the red and yellow of a passing train or a burst of color from the rose garden, the Railyard Park is in full bloom this summer. Come visit us! You will see a ‘waffle garden’ bursting with produce (feel free to pick spinach, snow peas, radishes, lettuce), and rainbow gardens with penstemon, yucca, primrose and more . THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 19 we offer an IRRIGATION WORKSHOP from 10 a.m. – Noon at the REI Community Room, where you can learn how to get the most from your home garden watering system. Attend a FREE PARK TOUR on JULY 17 from 10 – 11 a.m., covering the history, design and programs at our innovative new Park (meet at the performance green in the park). Gardening in the park is also in full swing, with groups such as the Overland Summer Youth program coming in July, and our ongoing EARLYBIRD GARDENING DAYS continuing on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. The COMMUNITY GARDENS have plots filling in with tomatoes, cucumbers, Japanese herbs, flowers and more – many thanks to Santa Fe High School for planting an herb garden and to Earth Care International for a great food garden for donation! If you are interested in volunteering or for more information on any of our programs visit www.railyardpark.org, email info@railyardpark.org or call 982-6975 for more information. See you in the Park!
