Join the Kingfield Walk of Gardens on Thursday July 9

July 8, 2020 By Sarah

Plan your walking/biking route! 28 gardens will be open for public viewing, hosted by their resident, passionate gardeners this Thursday 6-8 PM. Additionally at least five musical groups will also be out on their porches participating in On Thursday We Sing, and serenading you along the route.

Donations for taking part in the event be given to The Donation Garden at MLK Park. This community garden is an important source of fresh food that is used to supplement daily meals for Aliveness Project clients living with HIV/AIDS, and also to support their food shelf. Dollars raised over what the garden needs this year to rebuild their garden beds will be donated to this important Kingfield partner. Donating is as easy as texting the words ‘Garden Tour’ to 44-321, which then sends you a reply text to click on to go to the KFNA donation page AND automatically directs your donation to this project.

Both a map and the garden descriptions are now published in the event found here: https://kingfield.org/event/kingfield-walk-of-gardens/

Take a walk in the park (virtually!) and visit some of out trees at https://bit.ly/KingfieldCommuniTree. Send one of them an email, and they will write you back!

Dear KO,

So great to hear from you!! I hope you are enjoying this sunny Saturday! I am thrilled to see people out and about, walking in warmth of Spring. Trees love Spring as much as our human friends do!!

I do love a good joke. So here’s one you can share:
