🌸🌿 Gardening Delights in Supportive Housing! 🌼🌱

Hey there, lovely community! 🌸

What We've Been Up To: Our gardening enthusiasts, along with our amazing clients, have been busy! Regular weeding sessions have kept our garden pristine and healthy. But that's not all – we've introduced charming flower pots that have added a burst of colors to our surroundings. 🌺🌼 The result? A picturesque view that not only delights our clients but also serves as a delightful decoration for our office space! 🌿✨

Why Gardening Matters: Gardening is more than just planting flowers and weeding the soil; it's about nurturing life, fostering connections, and finding peace in the midst of nature. Our gardening sessions provide a therapeutic space for our clients, promoting relaxation, mindfulness, and a sense of accomplishment. 🌱🌸

Late start after the city has come to halt during this crisis.

Already last week we have baby beans, basil, and some chard sprouting.

Scenes from the Winter Garden

Red cabbage with magenta overtones.

Red cabbage, cauliflower, Romanesco broccoli, stock flowers.

One of twelve broccoli plants in the garden.

Celery thriving in cool days, rich soil and winter rain.

Screens over the lettuce and arugula to keep the birds from snacking.

A new favorite lettuce—Lolla Rossa magenta leaves with tiny frills and light green bases.

Violas edging the broccoli bed.

I planted some saguaro seeds about a week ago. Who woukda thunk that such large lads start out so smol. (submitted @nolayelde)

this speaks for itself when paired with a pic of the grown plant for scale:

they usually live to be 150+ years old. cutting one down in Arizona, where they’re native, is a felony with a maximum 9 months in prison. 

in my brief wikipedia exploration to find out how old they could be for this ask i found out that there was a dude in 1982 who was vandalizing one (which is also highly illegal) by shooting at it and then poking at it, and not only did the 500 pound arm of the cactus he was shooting at fall on top of him, but the actual trunk of the cactus then also proceeded to fall on him. he died. smited by the cactus gods for his transgressions
