The flow of bridging local community resources is really important. Local extension offices are key in supporting efforts in making meaningful efforts to support new gardeners. So far we have about 30 new gardeners who really have had no experience in learning to garden. The local Cooperative Extension programs will be offering beginning gardening workshops for these households.
Connect with university horticulture programs. Explore if they can assist in needs such as potting soil, greenhouse space, or supplies.We have connected with our local university program that will grow some starters for us. The final numbers will be discussed with their reality in being able to provide space for the plants.
These are both really crucial connections for this project to be supported in a meaningful way.
We have obtained a monetary donation for the nursery pots for transplants. If you were to do this less expensively research your growing options carefully. We chose to use a larger transplant pot (1 qt size) so the plants will be successful soon after transplanting. The recommendation to use Griffin Greenhouse Supplies was made - but the costs have risen considerably in just a few weeks. About 20%! Griffins Greenhouse Supply.
