Take the GroGood Challenge!


Plant a Row for the Hungry, Scotts Miracle Gro, and Feeding America have joined together to form the GroGood Challenge. If you are a gardener, they are asking that you take the grogood pledge and plant a row for the hungry this year. 1 in 8 Americans go to bed hungry every night. Use your garden to help end hunger by planting more than you need this summer and giving the excess to your local food bank. As your garden grows, you will recieve gardening tips by email, and information on your local foodbank and where to donate your extra produce.

In addition, I was sent a grogood kit, and one of you could recieve one too. If you would like to participate in this wonderful cause this summer, go take the grogood pledge  and leave me a comment with your contact info, and I will choose one lucky winner on Sunday May 17th to recieve this beautiful starter kit.


The kit includes: 
A beautiful copper toned planter box
A copper toned metal trowel
1 bag miracle gro organic choice plant food
$10 gift card for seeds or soil
&
A GroGood produce bag

Enjoy your garden this summer, both for what it brings to you, and for what you can bring to your community. Let me know about your progress and be sure to check in with us for ours.
