| Green Team |
| 2010 The Green Team is 10 years old! Some of our earliest participants have graduated from high school! It’s time revamp the kid's club and we are excited to expand the program to include the whole family this summer! As more and more households are looking for ways to become more self sufficient, a vegetable garden will provide healthy food for the kitchen table and wholesome exercise for everyone. The free use of a personal vegetable garden space to grow and learn together is a win- win situation for families with no yard space or no desire to till up their own backyards. Spaces will be assigned on a first- come, first-serve basis. Interested parties can call 712-668-4840 to claim a garden space. We anticipate initiating occasional family instruction nights at the Prairie Pedlar throughout the summer. To get started, we will meet at the garden on Wednesday, May 5th to highlight basic planting techniques and crop maintenance procedures. This basic garden introduction will offer tips, advice, and encouragement to ensure a bountiful return. Mid-season we will meet to field questions about the harvest concerns of many different vegetable crops. Additional evening presentations may be arranged so that gardeners can learn how to preserve their harvest through canning and freezing techniques. A detailed calendar will be arranged by the group of participants according to their interests. Each family is welcome to visit their garden anytime during daylight hours to harvest their produce, weed, water, etc. The success of each garden will be reflected in each family’s commitment to their garden project. |
