Busy Fall at LaSalle Square

People always ask what am I going to do in the winter . I always respond there is always Unity Gardens work to do . Mid November , and things are buzzing at the LaSalle Square Unity Garden . The shaded shelter went up today , thanks to The Neighborhood Resources Corporation, Inc inspire grant . The Shelter will be used for educational events , and a place for the neighbors to relax, and enjoy after a walk around the 1/2 mile walking path around the garden .

The City of South Bend donated some crushed concrete to put inside the shelter as a base . Jim is delivering more grass clippings to mulch in the new Community plot section , and the Center for the Homeless Landscape services is dropping off leaves in the big garden to mulch in . I am thrilled at how the Garden is shaping up .

(NNN) invites you to the 8th Annual Arts Café on Sunday, November 7th from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. This free walking tour will open five homes for the community to view, showcasing the distinctive character of area homes and providing a unique backdrop for local artists, musicians, and culinary specialists to share their diverse talents.
This year’s Café will be on Cottage Grove Avenue, between Lindsey Street and Van Buren Street – guests will begin their tour at the corner of Lindsey St and Cushing St.; just follow the signs from the South Bend Civic Theatre (at the corner of Portage Ave. & Lindsey St.). At the event artists’ wares will be available for sale – featuring everything from watercolor, pottery, photography, and jewelry, in addition to culinary delights. Local musicians will add to the atmosphere, providing music for your enjoyment. Also, take a minute to stop by the Children’s Activity Tent where there will be interactive activities for youth.
Not only does Arts Café provide a chance to see the hidden beauty of the homes in the near northwest neighborhood but it also gives participants the opportunity to see and appreciate local artists’ talent. We look forward to bringing the community together to help celebrate the great things happening in our neighborhood. So don’t forget to mark the Arts Café on your calendars for Sunday, November 7th, and plan on joining us in celebration.
