Once again we had a really successful Taste the Garden event, over 20 people in attendance! A big thank you to the volunteers who created such wonderful foods out of the community garden harvest (and even a few of their their own garden vegetables). Foods we enjoyed together included zucchini “meatballs“; Gluten free zucchini chocolate cake; zucchini bread; flatbread stuffed with chard, onions and spinach; assorted salads including kohlrabi, etc.

The next Taste the Garden event will be Wednesday, September 2, from 6 to 7 PM. Looking forward to seeing you at our next one!

🌱 Seed‑Saving Season Begins!

It’s officially seed‑saving season at the Tamworth Community Seed Library, and we’re starting with the seeds that practically teach you themselves. Saving seeds is simpler than most people think — and a beautiful way to keep local varieties thriving.

Beginner‑friendly seeds: beans, peas, lettuce, marigolds and calendula. They’re reliable, forgiving, and perfect for anyone learning the rhythm of seed stewardship.

Quick how‑to:
• Beans & peas dry right on the vine — wait until the pods are crisp, then shell and store.
• Lettuce sends up a tall stalk with fluffy seed heads; let them dry, then gently rub out the seeds.
• Marigolds & calendula hide their seeds inside dried blooms — just pull apart the flower and collect.

Here’s to community resilience, shared knowledge, and the joy of seed saving together.

Our recent 'Taste the Garden' event was a great success, with 22 people in attendance! We served raspberries, flatbread made from our green onions, chard and spinach, cut up veggies and dip, salad and zucchini bread. All dishes were prepared by our volunteers from produce from the garden. We distributed lettuce, zucchini, paddy pan squash, carrots, cucumbers, raspberries to some of our guests.

Couldn't make it? Our next Taste the Garden event will be Wednesday August 12th. See you there!

Join us for another Taste the Garden event on Wednesday, July 22 from 6–7 PM at the Tamworth Community Garden (at the end of Ball Park Dr)!

All are welcome — come taste, connect, and enjoy the beauty of local growing.
