VICTORY GARDEN INITIATIVE
- Kaitlin has assembled a general outline of relevant information
- Suggested plants: corn, snap beans, lima beans, tomatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, onions, spinach, potatoes, peppers
- Topics to cover: watering, weeding, soil composition, fertilizer, canning/storing, spacing, composting
- The subcommittee may consider building a relationship with a local farm for community garden space and/or purchasing seedlings and other supplies
- A "tool library" may also be helpful for families who do not currently own the necessary gardening equipment
- Eventually, we can put together gardening kits with seeds/seedlings and a pamphlet of useful tips (with additional information available online)
- Conrad will touch base with local farmers for their input on this project
