Beth Or's  ORGANIC  GARDEN
...continues to grow!  gardening-items.jpg  

 

Beth Or's  ORGANIC  GARDEN needs green thumbs!    

 

Let's put the 'Or' in 'Organic"

Just a few committed diggers/planters/harvesters energize our Garden areas  - you have the infrastructure.  Cultivate your own plot at Beth Or and'ro help our next communal crop of bananas, papayas, other edibles, herbs and medicinals. 

 

Over 20 years ago Beth Orians wer Shomrei Adamah, Guardians of the Earth -- Keepers of the Garden of Eden, aspiring to the highest standards of earth ethics.  We can and will carefully select the veggies and herbs to maximize output, with proven techniques such as companion planting, insect control, etc.  With today's high prices, a garden is economically desirable.  Plus, it is a part of a healthy lifestyle, providing hands-on education and a social communal experience.

 

 

Kavanah~ Rabbi Mark:  "...to help build up our people, our institutions and our strength so that we continue to l'takein olam b'malchut Shaddai, 'repair the world under the kingdom of heaven.'  Let's get our hands deliciously "dirty" in this endeavor as we grow and sustain our beloved community."

From Pat Barron 
 
 
Friend of mine is fostering a 6 year old 40 lbs terrier mix doggie she found who would make a great companion. She is apparently very laid back, and enjoys watching TV, hanging around with the owner, and basically needs someone who needs someone. She is very friendly, sweet, and loves to be petted. 

If you are interested or know someone who is, please leave the information at the TBO office to be forwarded to Pat.
