Feed A Community All Summer on $200?

For one of our yearly projects, Seeds for Success, we decided to again work with the small Appalachian town of Myra, Kentucky. Rather than donate canned goods which only last for a short period of time, the organization we work with has a community garden to feed those in need. This organization also then provides seeds to families for their own gardens. We like this as we believe that encouraging people to plant their own gardens helps families learn about sustainable food sources, helps family cut costs, as well raises awareness about healthy eating.

For $204 (this included 2-day shipping -HOW GREAT) we purchased the following seeds from a neat company we have never purchased from before, Johnnys Seeds. We suggest you check out their great selection and prices on seeds and materials from right here in the USA!

Thank you to one of my teachers from middle school for making the donation that made this possible!
