Welcoming Spring in the New Lounge

There are still piles of snow around from the last storm and more is forecast for today. But the birds of spring have arrived in northern Indiana and our thoughts turn to gardening. With the enthusiastic leadership of the AMBS community gardeners, we have had two opportunities to plant seeds in preparation for the 2008 season.

The lounge tables were spread with seed packs. Planting containers and potting soil was provided along with expert advice from Jamie Hollis, Heidi Rupley and . Everyone had a chance to plant seeds and take containers home to tend until their garden warms up enough for outdoor planting. Hopefully there will be sturdy seedlings to tuck into the soil for early summer crops.

A big thank you to the garden planners for helping us get ready for spring.


And, for those not interested in seed planting, there was stimulating conversation around the fireplace. The new furniture is well used and much appreciated.
