Seed To Supper

Seed to Supper Success!

Seed to Supper was a great success this spring. We held classes at Rogue Retreat’s Hope Village for their residents. Through the class, we were able to not only talk gardening but also get our hands dirty planting the community beds. Residents were able to direct sow crops from seeds, plant transplants, identify some good and bad bugs, and have a multitude of conversations about each other’s experiences in the garden. The residents of Hope Village are in charge of watering and harvesting the garden this summer.

Looking forward to next year, there is plenty of room to expand the program. We have many Master Gardener volunteers interested in helping with this program to spread our reach. Rogue Retreat’s Kelly Shelter also has beds that residents can learn in and plant in addition to having classes at Hope Village. Spring is a busy time of year but there is an opportunity for a fall Seed to Supper class to cover winterizing a garden with cover crops and our cold hardy crops. I am looking forward to continuing this partnership with Rogue Retreat and seeing what  learning and hands on experiences we can share with the community!
