National Watermelon Month<\/h2>\n
\n

July is\u00a0National Watermelon Month<\/a>! Here is a refreshing recipe from Denise Schreiber’s book “Eat Your Roses: \u2026Pansies, Lavender and 49 other Delicious Edible Flowers<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/em>
1 med red onion
2-4 limes
3 \u00bd lbs seedless watermelon
10 oz feta cheese
3-4 Tbl extra virgin
olive oil
1 bunch flat leaf parsley
1 bunch fresh spearmint (leaves and\/or flowers), chopped coarsely<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/em>
Peel and halve\u00a0 onion, cut into very fine slices and place in a bowl. Squeeze limes over the onion and set aside.<\/p>\n

Cut melon into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Gently crumble feta cheese over the melon.<\/p>\n

Tear sprigs of parsley so that you have the entire leaf and add to the watermelon. Add chopped mint too. Pour the onions and lime juice over the salad, add the oil and very gently toss with your hands, taking care not to break up the watermelon or feta. Add fresh black pepper and serve.<\/p>\n

Therapeutic Garden Initiative<\/h2>\n
\n

The\u00a0National Garden Bureau<\/a>\u00a0has launched “Growing for Futures,” a philanthropic program to build therapeutic gardens across the country.<\/p>\n

This ongoing annual fundraising initiative is designed to cultivate horticulture careers and life skills while also growing plants, vegetables, herbs and fruit for partnering organizations and communities.<\/p>\n

This year the non-profit NGB has chosen\u00a0Growing Solutions Farm<\/a>\u00a0in Chicago as the first beneficiary of its fundraising effort. It is a vocational program of the\u00a0Julie + Michael Tracy Family Foundation\/Urban Autism Solutions<\/a>, which serves, educates and trains young adults who have autism. NGB\u2019s goal is to\u00a0raise $50,000<\/a>\u00a0in cash and supplies to help support the continued growth of this innovative garden project.<\/p>\n
