Thanks to the wonderful donations of local nurseries and gardeners, hundreds of organic veggie starts are going to our local preschool and school gardens. For the third year in a row, Kris at Lovin' Blooms Nursery in Anderson Valley has donated an abundance of organic veggies starts. Our other major donors continue to be the Mendocino College Agriculture Department and the Master Gardeners of UC Cooperative Extension.
As State resources for our local school gardens continue to dwindle, The Gardens Project of NCO has teamed up with our local resources to bring these veggie starts to the K-12 school gardens and the Head Start and State Preschool gardens of Mendocino County.
Here, Kris from Lovin' Blooms brings his happy greens and Terry Nieves from the Garden Enhanced Nutrition Education Program of Mendocino County Schools happily takes them for the school gardens. Keep supporting our local resources and contact The Gardens Project if you have starts or seeds that you wish to donate to our local schools.
