Monday May 26th we will be planing our ground breaking for our first garden. We will start at 4 o'clock and will till up the ground, make rows, and plant our seeds. Please bring your shovels, hoes and other gardening supplies. Any donations will also be accepted at this time. Please check back for details on upcoming groundbreakings.
Comminity Garden Project
I run www.therecyclebin.org. I am looking to start a community garden project in the local areas. I am looking for land for use during the growing season. Location Coloma, St. Joseph, Watervliet, Benton Harbor, and surrounding areas. I do not need any financial assistance, or other monetary backing. I just want to teach the skill of gardening to the local kids and anyone else who would like to learn. I would also like to teach anyone who wants to learn; how to can, dehydrate, and freeze their extra vegetables. I believe that these skills are being overlooked and are a necessary part of peoples lives. This project would help people with their food bills while teaching them the skills needed to help them in life. I am from a small town in Nebraska and when I was little we only went in town for cereal and milk and toiletries. Everything else we pretty much grew our selves.
Thank you for your time,
