Hello Flower Friends, SAVE THE DATES:
Each morning this January, I've watched the same scene unfold out my office window: frost coating the ground at dawn, thermometer reading steady at 36 degrees. But by mid-morning, the sun breaks through, warming the earth to above 70 degrees and giving us a few precious hours to work. This rhythmic dance is a bit confusing for the plants between almost freezing and warming has shaped our workdays in unexpected ways. We have been digging up all the Dahlia tubers and splitting them. We will be having a Tuber Sale at our March 8, Saturday, 2025, Planting Party. Right now I am waiting for it to warm up enough to go outside and divide tubers then place them in plastic containers with vermiculite until the PlantingParty. It seems ages ago that we had our Annual Evening in the Cancer Victory Garden. Our 2024 Signature Event: An Argentine Evening in the Garden brought out over 60 donors to the CVG. We are so grateful that you deem our project worthy to support. This year we gave over 524 vases of flowers to cancer patients through Dignity Infusion, Hearst Cancer Resource Center, UCLA, and Grace Bible Church. Who knew that a tiny plot of land could yield so much! Thank you for your donations which purchased superior fertilizer to create big and profuse Dahlias and more! We added large containers for even more Dahlias. Which in turn means more water but then you supported this as well. Our team of floral arrangers, supporters and gardeners are wonderful. We are in the garden each Monday during the growing season May - September. For now MARK YOUR CALENDAR for March 8, Saturday, 9-12 and we will plant a TON of Dahlias and seeds. Everyone is welcome to dig in the dirt: Survivors, Supporters, Patients, and even your grandchildren! With your donation of $20 lunch is included! Yum! More to come! If you feel like dividing Dahlias, come on by!!
Happy gardening! Love, Linda
