So Long Summer SEED Crew!

After 8 impactful weeks, SEED Skills came to an end last week. We are so proud of all of the amazing youth participants, including out 11 SEED Leaders. This summer we had over 65 youth participants who worked hard, had fun, learned a lot, and provided fresh, organic produce to over 85 households in their neighborhoods. What a summer!

Seeds are being planted…literally and figuratively!

Seeding is happening already! Thousands of future onions were already planted on our special greenhouse heating table. We will be sowing peppers and tomatoes for greenhouse growing next, and then the brassica family: cabbages, collards, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli!

Programming plans for Food for All and Youth Programs are well under way! FFA partners are already in conversation with Team Trellis about plans for 2022; Youth leaders are having their monthly meeting virtually again next week; and Spring programming begins in just a few weeks!
