Making the Connection

Its the little connections that make the big picture so great. On Friday Joel Schipper from WNDU news came out to the Greenhouse to do a peice on Unity Gardens classes. Charlie a grandmother saw the morning news. She was taking her grandaughter & grandson for the day . She thought planting seeds would be great fun for the kids. They came early because they had a party to go to. It was a great learning process . They spent a hour, and a half mixing dirt, filling trays , and starting seeds. Learning about the plants they were seeding. Isaac was not to into getting dirty, but by the end he was pretty into it . Isabelle was all about it digging right in . Every connection made helps bring a community together, teaches another child where food comes from.
Did I say we are growing more than vegetables here !
