If this week's warmer weather has you itching to get outside and get into the dirt, join the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle at Logan's One-Stop Gardening Shop this Saturday, March 13 from 9am-5:30pm for the Plant a Row for the Hungry Kick-off! Plant a Row (PAR) is a national program that encourages garden communities and individual gardeners to donate fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers to people in need. Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is the Triangle’s PAR partner, distributing your produce to local food pantries, shelters, and other hunger-relief organizations.
Logan's is giving seeds and compost away on Saturday (while supplies last) to anyone who wants to participate in PAR, plus Logan's will hold a couple of workshops:
- Veggie Gardening, Part I: The Basics: 10 am
- Veggie Gardening, Part II: Beyond the Basics: 2 pm
- Learn to Grow: Bring kids of any age by to learn how to grow a watermelon from seed. 10 am-2 pm
The Food Shuttle's own Chef Terri Hutter will do a culinary demo on Saturday at Logan's too.
Even if you don't have a garden, you can still participate in PAR by container gardening on your deck, your front steps, or just about anywhere! You can also participate by volunteering at a community garden. On Saturday, you can join the Food Shuttle's Farms and Gardens Crew, which will be on site at Mayview Community Garden for anyone who wants to see the garden or volunteer that day. They will be leveling ground between beds and filling the ditches inside the garden space, as well as harvesting greens and planting a new crop of spring produce.
