A festival of flowers in the community garden | The Homepage

Five people look at a row of plants with purple flowers

By Valerie Testa

We had a wonderful Flower Fest in the Hazelwood Community Garden on July 13. We discussed bouquet-making basics and made our own bouquets.

Jasmine Pope, who works with the Phipps Homegrown program, talked about calendula flowers and how easy it is to make different salves from flowers and herbs from the garden.

We also sipped on soda water that was sweetened with homemade simple syrup with lavender and rosemary.

To pick a bouquet for yourself and enjoy the garden, stop by any Thursday between 4:30 and 6:00 pm.
