Kitchen Gardens featured at 2nd Saturday Program
September 8th - 9 am to 12 noon |
|

Nothing is better than harvesting fresh herbs and
vegetables from your very own garden while
preparing a delicious meal. Fall herbs and
vegetables will be available for sale on Saturday,
September 8th.
Fall is planting season in New Orleans and
September is the month for planning and preparing
cool season vegetable gardens. Join Macon Fry, the
Parkway Partners "Garden Guy" at 11:00 AM on
September 8 as he discusses and fields questions
on planning, building and planting kitchen gardens.
Macon will discuss how to use small spaces
efficiently, how to construct beds, prepare soil and
select plants for close-to-the-door edibles.

Burdette Fouchia can't wait to get back to New
Orleans and her old Gentilly neighborhood. Now that
her house is almost completed she's canvassing her
block encouraging residents to participate in the
Neighborhood Tree Project.
A group of neighbors and/or a Neighborhood
Association who wants to plant at least ten street
trees can get them from Parkway Partners while
supplies last.
Burdette is the Parkway Partners administrative
assistant. Since the storm she has commuted daily
to New Orleans from Baron Rouge. "I love my job and
the work we do for New Orleans. It is why I am
moving back home."
Contact Jo Ann Albrecht at 504-620-2225 or at
jalbrecht@parkwaypartnersnola.org for more
information or to discuss your plans. Once the NO
Dept of Parks and Parkways gives the okay the tree
planting can begin. September 15
is the deadline for plans to be completed and
approved.
