Second Sundays - Volunteers Day

Hello Amig@x

Are you growing veggies, herbs, and flowers in the upcoming Fall? September is a good time to prepare your tools and garden beds. Build or tuned your compost area. Budget for organic seeds, soil, mulch, fertilizers. See what you could be sowing and planting. It is a good time to research on how to prepare and feed your soil? What could be grown and when to plan it?

Plan being out!

The amazing time of playing outside with your garden helps to have some work done and release tensions. D vitamin is absorbed for your body. This could be a quality moment with family, or even by yourself. A garden is a space for wonder, it will become.

You are invited to our garden!

Amigos de la Huerta will be hosting family volunteer days on the second Sundays of the month to come together to learn from the garden delights and it's lessons. Then talking about gardening in a collective lunch cooking while we get some work done.

Organizing the space, weeding, mulching, observing, seeding, planting watering, are some of the tasks that are constancy when gardening. Along with the company of others want to share the experience and learn from it.

Both astronomy and astrology acknowledge this influence, and so the studies surrounding it are vast and varied. Once upon a time, people used to gaze at the moon often. Observers began to notice patterns and passed them down through their cultures and communities. The moon’s cyclical nature continues to endure, always present, always influencing. Eight moon phases by artist Alex Palomino New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Moon Waning Gibbous Third Quarter Waning Crescent The moon takes about 29.5 days to complete its full cycle, which doesn’t align perfectly with the 365-day calendar year.
