Trumbull MGVs Sow Seeds of Change |
|
Trumbull County Master Gardener Volunteers are sowing seeds of change by teaching local food bank participants how to grow their own food. MGV Glen Smith, Interns Diana Isenberg and Donna Hall recently helped County Coordinator Steve Hudkins teach 20 people how to grow vegetables in containers. With Burpee-donated seeds, soil from Warren City's Nature Blend plant, containers donated by Trumbull MGVs and starter plants provided by St. Mark's Lutheran Church (home of the food bank), Hudkins and his MGVs demonstrated the proper way to plant and care for seeds and transplants. |
