A welcoming fall day drew garden enthusiasts to the Rotary Community Garden on October 19 for the Fall Monarch Festival & Plant Sale. The event featured engaging presentations on fall gardening, beekeeping, and the captivating migration of monarch butterflies, offering something for participants of all ages to enjoy. The festival was enriched by contributions from several community organizations, including the Hummingbird Society, Gardens for Humanity, Verde Valley School students, and the Sedona Bee Company. Together with Rotary, they created a vibrant and educational morning for all attendees. The Rotary Club of Sedona Village, proud sponsor of the Village Community Garden, provides garden space for local residents. Additionally, dedicated Rotary garden beds grow produce that is donated to local food banks, supporting the community with fresh, healthy food options. The Fall Monarch Festival was a shining example of community spirit, education, and environmental stewardship coming together in the Village. |
