Powderhorn Newsletter

Fall 2022 Edition - Volume 1

Fall at Powderhorn

At the Annual Homeowner Association Board meeting held in July 2022, several homeowners expressed interest in having a community newsletter. The goal is to share important information about what is going on in the community and allow residents to connect and share resources.

Residents are encouraged to submit information, offer feedback, or be a part of the Newsletter Team. Future editions will feature a Kid's Corner, Services/Goods offered by the community, and much more. If you'd like to contribute to the newsletter, please reach out to: powderhornnewsletter@gmail.com

Community Garden News
Wildflower Garden - Directly south of the Community Garden residents have been growing and maintaining a native wildflower garden since 2021. There are at least six, low-maintenance wildflower varieties, which flourished this year due to the installation of a water spigot and diligent weeding carried out by residents.
Community Garden -  Growing season in 2022 was a success! Check out this Chocolate Zucchini Bread recipe!
Reminders for the End of Season:

• Unhook hoses from the spigot when not in use to prevent damage in case of a freeze.
• After harvesting, clean out plots. Do not put any diseased material or any tomato plant parts in the compost.

If you are interested in having a garden plot in 2023, email Tanya tanyaroussy@gmail.com.
