Rainbow carrots and beets...such color! My goal for this season's garden was to grow veggies that Tony would eat or at least be able to burry the item in a preparation where he couldn't identify the "green".
Yesterday, I made my first excursion to Waterford School Community Garden where I watched to classes of 3rd graders get excited over seeing seeds that they'd planted growing. Are children these days really that divorced from gardening? Don't parents at least grow tomatoes in pots? Hmmm....
When I met with the principal and director of this program I was impressed by their enthusiasm. In this day and time with limited budgets and time, it's hard to find volunteers but here were two with dedication. So, what does this have to do with me? My knowledge of gardening, background in community projects and events, and the interest in "giving back" has lead me down the path to assistance. Maybe a blog for the kids to view!
