Last update: 3 hours agoCommunity Fundraiser: Restoration Park’s 3rd Annual “Night at Restoration Park” fundraiser is set for Fri, Aug 7 (5:45–8 p.m. shuttle), with string-lit small bites and tastings; proceeds go to Keep West Monroe Beautiful’s beautification and sustainable gardening work. Container Gardening: A velvety annual pick for small spaces—dusty miller—gets a spotlight for its silvery foliage, deer resistance, and easy container pairing. Neighborhood Garden Drama: A gardener claims a neighbor’s rooftop solar array is reflecting heat onto her beds, causing lettuce to bolt early—turning a backyard dispute into a wider conversation about impacts on plants. Wildlife-Proofing: A squirrel-resistant bird feeder (weight-trigger “trap door” style) is pitched as a way to stop feeder damage and seed waste. Local Growing Wins: Brooklyn’s Crown Heights block (Lincoln Place) takes “Greenest Block in Brooklyn,” while Grafton Lions’ community garden reports all 13 beds filled and plot signups for next year. How-To (August): Gardeners are urged to do key late-summer jobs—like dividing tired perennials and giving rambling roses a targeted August trim—to set up bigger blooms next year.
