Want to help?

Interested in helping out with Harvesting Hope's container garden project?
Come get your hands dirty!
We're holding a planting day this Saturday and Sunday, May 2- 3, at MK's house in Graylin Woods (4704 Yarrow Court, off Route 5 between Rt. 199 and Ironbound Road). Join us Saturday from 10am to 5pm or Sunday from noon to 5pm. Come when you can, and stay as long as you like. We'll be building the last half of the containers, moistening the soil and planting the remaining plants.

Or donate money toward the effort: as little or as much as you can!
Each garden costs about $8 to create -- $4.80 for the organic topsoil (Countryside Natural Products in Fishersville, VA gave us a great discount) and $3.20 for the tube, funnel, wick and plant support. The plants (and much good advice) came as a gift from Charlie Maloney, a CSA farmer from between West Point and Gloucester who teaches a class in sustainable agriculture at William and Mary. Three of his students took this bucket garden on as their class project and grew the plants in Charlie's greenhouse. The buckets were donated by local restaurants and gathered by a group of volunteers.

Support this effort by underwriting a bucket – or two or three. Make your check out to Harvesting Hope and send it to MK Sizemore, 4704 Yarrow Court, Williamsburg, VA 23188.

We hope to see you this weekend!
