On January 22nd, old farmers and new dirt scratchers gathered at our local golf clubhouse for a festive 2014 Community Garden official, "kickoff". In addition to a bountiful breakfast buffet, gardeners had the opportunity of sharing stories and renewing or selecting new garden beds. The gathering featured:
- The coveted "Golden Trowel Award" presented to Larry and Marge
- The honored "Volunteer of the Year Award" presented to Dave
- An information-filled presentation by Larry and Marge (internationally acclaimed Golden Trowel Award winners) on "How We Did What We Did--Tips, Hints, and Semi-Secrets of Successful Gardening in SCP-Community Garden". Not only was the information they shared valuable, but the costumes and props were quite the rage...possibly setting new fashion trends in our wonderful community.
The coveted "Golden Trowel Award" plaque will be on permanent display on the "trophy wall" at the SCP-Community Garden (under pavilion).

Other news....in January our garden entry road was "paved". Actually, this is crushed asphalt and gravel repurposed from another road. This is certainly a tremendous improvement.
