This month’s post is dedicated to Joe, our long standing garden supervisor, who  leaves our little community for more exciting gardening challenges.  We thank him for his passion for our garden, his generosity, for sharing his skills, and his sad jokes, but mostly we thank him for all the dedicated hard work that he has put into our garden for many years.

Happy gardening in the future Joe. From all your many friends at Grantham.
