TO: Friends and Neighbors

FROM: John Gerber

My gardens are open for your to enjoy. Please feel free to wander about, sit and relax, and pick anything you would like. If you are unfamiliar with the garden, you can access it just west of the path between Harlow and Rolling Ridge (off of East Pleasant). The entrance looks like this….

The first edible plant you’ll find is the mulberry tree to the left of the chairs near the entrance. Mulberries should be picked when they are just about to fall off the plant (otherwise they will be kind of bitter).

Next, you’ll find the raspberries and blackberries are just getting started. Kids love these.

The blueberries look like they have about a week before they are blue!

The big garden in the middle is a Three Sisters Garden (corn, beans and squash). Hopefully there will be lots of gourds and jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. The corn is ornamental.

There will be tomatoes in the hoop house in a few weeks.

And the cut flower garden is starting to produce now. Please feel free to cut bouquets!

You are invited to bring friends and enjoy the gardens when you like.
