There is nothing more magical in the early morning then to be out harvesting flowers at Dharma s Garden. This morning, the weather was cool, almost cold, a nice reprieve from the 90-degree days we’ve been having. The garden was bathed in soft morning light and the flowers were luminous. Several ladies were out harvesting flowers: Lilies, Snapdragons, Larkspur to name just a few. I cut long strands of Larkspur with Susan. Trying to carefully remove the thick tentacles of Bind Weed that had so intimately curled itself around the delicate deep purple blue flowers. After filling our buckets and baskets, we all came together and Farmer Tim gave us a tutorial on Flower Bouquet Making. Baskets ove
It was festive morning at the Little Garden Stand. Dharma's Garden member, Jess, put on an outstanding outdoor cooking demonstration. Using fava beans, snow peas, garlic scapes, celery, and fresh herbs from the garden she created a simple but delicious culinary delight. Members took a moment from their shopping to enjoy the freshly toasted baguettes drizzled with olive oil, spread with creamy burrata cheese and a mixture of warm fava bean salad. It was a lively celebration of friends, fresh food, and sunshine. Farmer Tim and Kerry got a chance to sit down for a moment and enjoy a sample. Fava Beans were surely this week’s favorite item after the live cooking demo and sampling. Come visit
