Project Report | May 22, 2023
Planting Season!

By Joseph Ceasar | Executive Director

After a successful growing season last year, we are prepped for an even bigger season this year! We were able to acquire several hydroponics systems which allowed us to create hundreds of seedlings which were ready at the beginning of the Spring. These seedlings should allow us to increase our expected yield by 100%.

We have also established several partnerships with nurseries who donate aging plants to us when they prepare for their inventory changes. So far, we have acquired hundreds of free plants to the garden!

In our efforts to become a 100% regenerative gardend, we have been developing composting piles from which we create a powerful compost tea. Both, the compost and the tea, can be sold to local gardners and farmers. 

Another important development involves our continued efforts to nurture and rehabilitate the soil. We have made the decision to include vermiculture in our processes. We have started small, but the growth in the number of worms has increased tremendously. 

We invite you to stay tuned to future developments. Thank you for your support!
