Fig-tastic Fun Day

🌿 Fig-tastic News from the Lamplight Community Garden! 🌿

A couple of years ago, our beloved fig tree took a hit during that big snowstorm. We've done our best to revive it with love and care, but alas—it’s time to let it go. The good news? A fresh start is on the way! We're planting a brand-new fig tree, the Texas Everbearing (yep, it even sounds delicious 😋). Thanks to upgraded irrigation funded by our garden, this new tree will have everything it needs to thrive.

🍃 Label It to Love It! 🍃

Our garden is bursting with beautiful plants, but without labels, it's a bit of a guessing game! Whether you're a budding beginner or a seasoned soil-slinger, clear signage helps everyone learn and appreciate what’s growing. We recently received a grant to create a butterfly garden (yay pollinators! 🦋), but it didn’t include signs. So, we’re working on adding informative, fun signage throughout the garden to showcase all the amazing plant life—and to keep things organized, too!
