We’ve started a new project at Families Forward, a non profit organization that provides childcare and early childhood education for lower income families. They had some empty garden beds in their outdoor area, so we went there a few weeks ago and planted a variety of fruits and vegetables, including lettuce, peas, strawberries, carrots, beets, spinach, and kale. We’ll be checking in once a month or so and doing classes with the kids on plants and sustainable gardening, as well as some outdoor meditation. Families Forward plans to use the produce in their kitchen, and we’re planning to install a compost bin as well for food and garden scraps, making it a truly sustainable garden! We’re very excited about this garden and we’ll continue to post updates on its progress.
