Looking to the other side of the tunnel system under I-40...the river goes through on the far right, the walk goes through on the far left.
Nice to see a waystation sign for Monarch butterflies...I didn't read the fine print, so don't know exactly what that entails!
I keep loving this view of the Swannanoa River, so I take a new shot each visit. They probably all look like the same photo!
Fun skies over the distant mountains.
One woman was working with some compost to the left side of the gardens.
There may be a few winter crops, or early spring started.
I can't wait to come back and see what everyone plants. I don't get up and down any more, so all my plants will be in pots on my porch!
The target of all the Frisbee Golfers...who certainly were out walking around throwing their little discs.

...I have driven over that bridge! Today it will be warm enough to do some cleanup work in my garden.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful news. Gardens are such delightful pursuits...from making the dirt be extra fertile, to the regular watering and weeding.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI like the views of the river and sky! I assume their is a butterfly garden there? Take care, enjoy your day!
Oh yes, the butterfly garden goes crazy, if I remember correctly!
DeleteThere is one park in the community to the north that has that frisbee golf set up, but I have never seen anyone playing at it. Not that I spend much time there.
ReplyDeleteI think the recent groups have been on weekends...and probably were students from the nearby college.
DeleteCommunity gardens are such a fine idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this one is so active...they give lots to the food pantries and kitchens preparing free meals.
DeleteLove the views there. It'll be nice to watch that community garden grow.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be fun seeing the changes...I hope that when people start working their gardens I can still come see them.
DeleteI love community gardens too and used to belong to one a few years ago until we moved. I love your views of the Swannanoa River, they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's amazing that it drains such a big valley, to me anyway.
DeleteMy younger daughter plays Frisbee golf. I can guarantee that I would be terrible at it, but she's a natural athlete like my late husband.
ReplyDeleteI am totally in awe of these people throwing frisbees and somehow getting them to go where they want!
DeleteBarbara, We've never had a community garden anywhere close to us. My better half used to garden and she can still bend and get down...but her hands don't work all that well. If I get down, I need to have something nearby to use to pull myself up or just call in a crane. Aging isn't for sissies and it does beat the alternative. Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteMe too, I'd have to have some furniture, or a fence at least to climb back up.
DeleteOur landscapes are very similar, Barbara, but I'm sure your weather is getting warmer than mine is here in Colorado. If predictions are correct we might get another big snowfall this weekend. The snow is needed, however, as it has been dry again.
ReplyDeleteI also grow everything in flower pots as our soil is rocky and full of clay. I have to surround each pot with chicken wire cages to keep the deer away. Disc golf is popular here too! Our ranch house has disc golf apparatus in a nearby park.
My son lives down near Durango. Are you near Denver? Yes, I've heard about the drought there. I have to purchase potting soil for my pots, and I don't have very many big ones. We are in enough of an urban area to not have deer, but we have to watch out for black bears...they have become used to feeding out of people's garbage cans.
DeleteIt certainly looks like a good spot for a stroll.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I've enjoyed it, especially if bundled-up enough.
