Lexington’s 3rd annual Community Garden Tour, which you can read about  at SustainLex.org, will be held on July 30th.  Check out the information and register for the event there. In addition to the starting and dinner location at The Rock/La Roca United Methodist Church on North Limestone, a bus tour will make the rounds of 5 other gardens.  Organizer Jim Embry likes to call community gardens “Gardens of Eatin’”. 

The idea of growing your own food has gained popularity in recent years, but gardening as a spiritual exercise has deep cultural roots.  A couple years ago, Fayette County Master Gardener John Murray  wrote a moving essay about what gardening means to him.  I’ve been saving it for just the right moment to share.  Click A Way to Peace of Mind to read the essay.
