Stay home.

The after school is still closed until further notice but the work in the garden must continue. Today we planted onions, Brussel sprouts, Swiss chard, spinach, and snap peas!

Update on the urban garden seedlings! They are doing so well in their new self-watering kits. With the after school closed at the moment, this product came in handy.

The urban garden will go on as planned, despite having an after school group to grow the seeds. Our mission this year is to serve the community with vegetable plants and produce! Coronavirus won’t win.

Today I led a team project for Rock the Block for the 3rd year in a row. Special thanks to Genuardi Family Foundation for lending a hand in @Project19401’s garden!

These massive heirlooms are being distributed to families today!

[Coach Ashe @ShaeAshe]

We made so progress in the urban garden in just two years! Thanks to a grant from @WholeCitiesFnd, @Project19401 will continue to expand to serve more families.
