Grassroots Garden II

A section of the Grassroots Garden that includes beds of celery, onions, young cole crop starts, beans, raspberries, sunflowers, etc. In the far distance are more than ten varieties of tomato plants as well as sweet peppers. Very inspiring!

Grassroots Garden I

For the next few days I will feature photos taken at the Food for Lane County Grassroots Garden site. The Grassroots Garden is a wonderful place. It's a very productive mini-farm (producing 52,789 pounds of food for hungry families in Lane County last year). It's a great place to volunteer. It's a learning center. It's also a great place to lose yourself for a while.

I've been volunteering at the Grassroots Garden this summer and loving it. I've learned a great deal and feel like I'm doing a little something to help my hungry neighbors.

This shot, taken in one of the greenhouses, features a variety of pepper plants and shows some onions and garlic bulbs curing. Yum!
