| Dear Friends,
The plants sales are done. And now the real work begins! Getting all those plants in the ground at the 8 different sites where FRESH is growing food this year.
And then taking care of all those plants and keeping them alive and watered will be the work...
And then, harvesting....
But all this work serves many purposes!
We chat and share with one another as we are working, joke and laugh and learn more about each other's lives. We're outside, and witnessing all the vibrancy of New London and it happens around us. We're connecting with people as they walk by and painting a picture of what will be! "Watch this space," we tell them, "soon these tiny plants will be feeding you tomatoes!"
Our garden spaces have been busy. Last Thursday, the FRESH Urban Farm and Education center played host to New London's Early Childhood Family Center and 21 kids under the age of 4 and one awesome 10 year old climbed our compost and topsoil piles, planted beans, dug for worms and generally made a good old fashioned mess-- in the best sense of that word.
Let's Get Growing, The FRESH Staff |
