Dear Friends & Family,

The urban farm and garden tour went well last Saturday--the CATALYST garden and pond (one of 18 sites on the tour) saw about 150 visitors. The weather was perfect. Many of you arrived on bikes. Thanks to all who came by, and to the folks at Wasatch Community Gardens for arranging such an inspiring event.

The July issue hits the newsstands next Monday. Read your June issue now, if you haven't already!

Thanks for reading,
Greta deJong, editor & publisher
