The Secret Garden

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Julie-Ann Baumer

I have one more garden.  It’s a 10 foot by 10 foot garden in an undisclosed location. It’s a long story and it’s complicated.  There’s a lot going on here.  I’m not ready to talk about it yet.

Cindy’s Tulip

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Julie-Ann Baumer

I haven’t always been the volunteer coordinator at the Hampton Victory Garden.  Cindy preceded me and she’s good at remembering the important things, like planting tulips.  I’m glad she did. Take a picture of a blooming tulip today!
