Sowing seeds for community gardening program

By

Greening Greater Greenfield (G3), in conjunction with the McClain High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) Chapter, is offering a free garden plant package to residents of the Greenfield School District.

This season’s package will include three tomato plants, three pepper plants, four onion sets, and six marigold plants. The packages may be picked up from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 8 at the Vocational Agriculture Building, corner of Fifth and Lafayette streets in Greenfield. A donation would be appreciated and all donated funds will be given to one of Greenfield’s food banks.

This is the beginning of what G3 hopes to become a community gardening program that will eventually include workshops on establishing a proper backyard garden and hands-on food preservation workshops teaching participants the proper methods of canning and freezing surplus vegetables.
