Vegetables will now be available to our recipients every Thursday in the main hall of Bryan Memorial Town Hall (Washington). Hours are 11:30 – 5:00. Let us know if you’d like to receive our vegetables but can’t make these distribution hours (info@judeagarden.org or 860 868-2880),
It’s July and things are really going to start happening now!
Our regular distribution day is every Thursday. The Garden could use help with harvesting and transportation. The best way to help would be a weekly or biweekly commitment.
With over 200 tomato plants we could use help pruning and corraling these beasts. Let us know if you can be a dedicated tomato volunteer.
Come on out – there’s not a better way to spend a summer day!
Mark your calendar – we’ll be planting our summer crops Saturday Morning June 4th and Sunday afternoon June 5th.
In the meantime, we’ll be there most mornings (weather permiting) getting things ready.
See you in the Garden!
We got a lot of vegetables in the ground last week so they are very happy with this rain.
This week I will be working between the rain drops to clear more weeds and prepare more beds. Come join me if you just need to get out!

To the Editor:
I never thought that I’d live anywhere else other than New York, where I was born, raised, educated and worked in.
Why would I leave New York? Everything I wanted was there, from the Met (opera), to galleries and thrift shops, to Central and Riverside parks.
The fall foliage changed all that back in the early 1990s when my spouse and I rented a car and drove to Litchfield County to look at the leaves.
Three years and three states later, we moved to the small town of Washington.
This letter is not suppose to be about me but rather our town, where we now have a community garden of wonderful vegetables grown to help neighbors, young and old, during difficult economic times.
I would like to thank Denise Arturi, Sarah Gager, Marlene Smith, Ann Burton, St John’s Episcopal Church, the Steep Rock Association and everyone else in our town who is working on this wonderful project.
I think I’ve found everything I need now in Washington, so why would I ever leave?
