Hi neighbors!

We will start with Eco Sabbath during September.

Eco Sabbath is about awareness and taking some time back for yourself. This is a chance to lay off the lights, televisions, computers, appliances, cell phones, flashing gadgets, and other stuff that seems to make the world go round. It

Thanks for joining us on our first Greenlands Garden Walk. It was a successful event that we hope to continue next year. Special thanks go to Laura Ruby for leading the walk and to Lee Turmala for sharing her beautiful flower garden.

Use washable, reusable plates and cups.

If you are using table coverings, avoid plastic tablecloths that are disposable.
