NEITHER RAIN, NOR CHILL, NOR GLOOM OF CLOUDS,* WILL STOP THE GARDENERS

December 2, 2018

The Cedar Key Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center staff provided a welcoming setting yesterday for the Cedar Key Community Gardeners who had much to do but were temporarily rained out of their own territory, the Garden itself.

The Chamber’s hot coffee, the Deverin’s cake, the Offerle’s fruit, and Dale’s chocolate bon-bons helped make the tasks as delightful as the company and the small and cozy setting.

The group filled seed packets for the Tom Deverin-inspired Cedar Key Community Garden’s Seed Give-Away Program. The program operates out of a station at the front, south, end of the Garden. A sign there invites visitors to take, plant, and enjoy as many as three different kinds of vegetable or flower seeds; if they wish to make donations, a receptacle is there to facilitate the exchange.   The donations have been wonderfully successful; they have allowed the Community Garden to pay for its insurance and its water bills for the past year.

The camera man had an obviously bad day behind the lens, thus only two pictures and those two failed to capture at least six or seven folks.

*The real, often quoted, but unofficial Post Office motto is:  Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
