Roosevelt Oliver twenty five years with the Herb Farm soon to retire.
Ah! Do I feel a little change in the air? The humidity,
heat, bugs and weed-growth of our ‘longest summer’ are
about to dissipate and the desire to seek the sanity and
sweetness of the garden will return. The magic of Fall
in the deep South delights us all! With that seasonal
change brings the return of activities at the farm.
Late Spring and Summer were filled with wonderful
travels and adventure. A magical trip to Europe was the
highlight. Wonderful time spent with Monday Volunteer, Dot Bacot in Brugges, Belgium, and a dream come
true visit to Paris and Giverney, France. Many trips to
the cool of the Western North Carolina Mountains made
the heat of this summer bearable. Lots of good company and good times were shared. Great trip out West is
planned for this Fall with friends from Native Nurseries.
Other changes are in the air at O’Toole’s. The farm’s
five year transition plan will be coming to an end January 1, 2016. Roosevelt Oliver, who has been the most
wonderful and faithful employee, will be retiring. I am
sure he will be around as there is always a lot to be done
on the farm. The pressure of ‘greenhouse production’
for wholesale will be eliminated but Monday Volunteers will still come. Friday Yoga in the Heartspace and
the occasional workshop/special event will still happen
for as long as folks are interested in participating. The
greenhouse (retail sales) and the garden will be open by
appointment. Exciting times ahead!
