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,

We are getting ready to start out Community Garden Project. We currently have two organizations who have jumped on board. We have the Coloma Elementry School, and the Benton Harbor Teen Center and the Youth in Government. I am excited to start this project and teach the skills of Gardening to a new generation. I grew up in small town Nebraska and we grew all of our own food. We canned, froze, and dehydrated the majority of out food. I am going to teach these skills to those who are interested in my community. I urge you to do the same in your community as well. With the growing cost of food this is going to be a necessary step in helping to not only save money, but a necessary way to cut down on fuel costs, and help the world with the food shortages. We plan on donating the excess vegetables to the local food banks. Please check us out at www.therecyclebin.org If you are in the southwest Michigan area and would like to participate please let me know.
