| Growing Gardens
donated plants and seeds to get the new gardeners at the Boulder
Shelter for the Homeless started. As the season progressed we
also taught gardening classes as well as cooking and nutrition classes
(thanks to the CSU Extension service for providing the nutrition
education). One of our community gardeners, Jodi Niggeman gave a
medicinal herb class. The Homeless Shelter garden plots were very prolific in 2001 and 2002 -- the tomatoes and zucchinis just kept coming! The residents commented that the gardens gave them an "at-home" feeling and that they liked spending time with the plants. Residents were very protective of their gardens and did a great job tending to their veggies. |
