This food project is a community effort, so we welcome volunteers to join in this project. I’m really enjoying the volunteers helping out in the greenhouse. They are amazing!

It’s quite enjoyable to talk story while at the same time have busy fingers sowing seeds and transplanting baby seedlings. In just the two hours every Monday, this group gets a lot done…..a lot!

The greenhouse volunteers help out with a variety of greenhouse tasks. There’s always something to get done each week……preparing the potting soil, filling pots, filling seedling trays, sowing seeds, transplanting seedlings, making plant labels, watering, arranging the trays and pots in the greenhouse.
I don’t know about other people, but I get a real kick out of watching the freshly sown seeds sprout, then watching the infant seedlings grow into robust plantlets ready to be moved to the main garden. It’s a true miracle seeing our future food go from teenie little seeds to big plants, knowing that it was us volunteers that made it happen.
