Thanks Good Cheer

Hoop house at Good Cheer Garden by J. Pittis

From Julie Pittis:

"Just being in the garden I felt the warmth of community spirit all around.

Thanks, Julie"

Sunflowers at Good Cheer

The leaves on these sunflowers are like elephant ears, they're so big. I'd like to do another and concentrate on the flowers.

Good Cheer Garden

The Garden provides a cornacopia of food to the Food Bank.
What a bright friendly place to practice sketching!

Food for both the body and the spirit grow well in Good Cheer's Garden. It feels good to just be there in the warm sun in the midst of all the beautiful summer garden bounty listening to the chatter of the happy, good-hearted volunteers working away. This garden is really a win-win-win for our entire community. Brava to Cary Peterson and all those who make it happen.

Good Time at Good Cheer

I wasn't there long today, but I sure enjoyed the time I was there.  Here are sweet sketcher friends Sherryl & Natalie who agreed to pose and gab while I sketched them.  Fun time gabbing & laughing, ladies.

And, before I dashed, did a quick splash sketch of the raised beds at Good Cheer.

Painting in the Good Cheer Harvest Garden

The hoop house at the G.C. Harvest Garden was full of lush green veggies and tomatoes getting ripe as the warm sun was filtering through the plastic covering. The covering was reflecting the colors of the sun, trees and sky with shades of purple possibly from the chemicals in the plastic. Also inside the hoop house were orange and yellow marigolds to keep away the slugs? Must be working for them.
