Hope Connexion Blessing Garden Has Needs
Hope Connexion has the goal of both helping feed people and helping them feed themselves. With this goal in mind the Blessing Garden has been created and expanded. As a result of donations the Blessin’ Garden has twice as many grow boxes as last year. Now soil is needed to fill them and other materials are necessary to create a fully functional garden. Volunteer labor is also helpful as Hope Connexion has limited staff and resources and thus currently isn’t able to act upon some of the well-intentioned suggestions given by others.
Materials needed are 3 cubic feet of mulch, 2 blueberry plants, one two wheeled wheelbarrow, 94 bags of garden soil, a 50 foot garden hose, 2 pairs of garden gloves, 4 -8′ x 4″ x4″ treated posts, 6-8′ x 2″ x 4″ treated boards. 20 cubic feet of composted manure has already been supplied. The need for garden soil is the most urgent
There is a Blessin’ Garden Adoption Drive with the amount for businesses of $250, Non-Profits $50 and individuals of $100.
Volunteers have come and started seeds. There is a goal to have starter plants for distribution so that people can grown their own things.
Already in place are 2 blueberry bushes, 2 blackberry bushes, 2 peach trees, 2 nectarine trees and 10 fig trees. The center also has a new beehive with local bees.
