Looking forward to fingers in the dirt! We expect to pick up some starter cherry tomato plants and pole bean seeds as well. Hope to break ground in a couple of weeks.

“Great Idea”

We will be transforming this small space into a vegetable and fruit garden in the coming weeks and months. The land is owned by a beautiful and generous woman who provides child care in our community. This will be an opportunity for the little ones to learn about how things grow, how to nurture, and how to work together. More to come!!!
