It's that chilly time of year,

Susan Young, State Rep Tram Nguyen, and Trisha Keddie

Fall Festival at Livingston, Sunday, October 2

During this chilly season, and impending cold season, 

consider these indoor hanging plants:


String of Pearls, Philodendron, String of Hearts

Satin Pothos, Hanging Hoya, and Oxalis Triangularis

the latter is commonly known as the false shamrock plant.

Idea from Karen Favreau

Constructed by her son Kyle,

and his girlfriend Jenny


Create your own raised bed,

48x47", 26" high



1) Take pallets apart, and rebuild


2) Includes a bottom, to deter resident groundhog


3) Lined with chicken wire and cloth,  to keep soil in, and critters 

out

Literary Blooms
