We couldn't be happier with how this program got off to a start! We distributed over 300 Starter kits to the wonderful people who RSVPed, volunteering to plant broccoli, cilantro, and lettuce seeds, and tend their green wards until September. Meeting each and every one of you was such a treat, we're so grateful to you, and we love the pictures you're sending of how you're planting with your friends, families, and students. What a great way to teach kids about growing their own food, and also about helping their communities. Bravo! Check out this adorable step-by-step photo gallery, we'll continue to share pics here and on Instagram, and we encourage you to post, too, tagging us @getstarted.garden.
Keep up the good work, everyone!
-Cara Storm, director (and fellow Starter)
