Seed Fundraiser


This Year we teamed up with a seed company in Southern Indiana to do a seed fundraiser for Unity Gardens . 25% of the money spent on seeds by clicking the link on the right side of this page goes to Unity Garden. We Love this company because the they do great things for the Community.

Nature's Crossroads is dedicated to supporting organic gardeners in the Midwest by rebuilding the supply of locally-adapted,organically grown, Earth-friendly seeds. We are also working to increase the number of organic gardeners in our region through our community partner program, our school fundraisers, and our educational outreach. Buy local. Eat local. Grow local.
Please click on the link on the right hand side of this page and just check them out.

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 !
