Practice Run

Gardeners are a sappy lot (overly sentimental or full of sap). We can sometimes get caught up in our own little world, surrounded by our growing things. It often happens, when you have your hands in the dirt, you sometimes forget to look up. Not in a bad way, it's just like... well, if you lived in your own little paradise, why would you want to leave it?
But, gather we did!
Here, are some photo's that show what happens when gardeners get together and decide to share their world with one another, and with family and friends.
We had our first garden tour a couple of years ago, we kept it small, we invited family and close friends and neighbors. We all brought a dish to share, and we gathered together and talked about our love of gardening , food and people.
We had such a good time, that we decided to expand and open our gardens to more neighbors!
That's where The Edible Garden Tour and Market all began.

My grandson (he's in lots of photo's, sorry but he's my grandson).

The guy in the yellow shirt is David (I told you we were sappy!) He's one of the gardeners.

We ended the evening with a pot luck and we secretly devised a plan to change the world!
