Kevin, Usha, and I met at the Neighborhood House. Not all the seniors were there. However, those who were there made suggestions about what plants to grow. We will be adding some vegetables as they have cooking classes, and they said they would like to use the herbs and veggies for this class.
We also suggested they might want to paint different designs on the planks of wood for those who are not interested in gardening. There are many talented artists at the Neighborhood House!
I am working on getting a compost bin at a reduced price, and have someone come into the center to explain how to use it.
Usha is keeping track of budjet, and looking for the right wood that is not treated. We got a lead from Sprainbrook Nursery about non-treated wood, and we hope to get more advice from them when we go to buy material. The owner said he will give us some discount. Not sure how much?
Kevin is looking into contacting the Science Barge in Yonkers in regards to creating sustainable drip-feed bottles.
We hope to get to Sprainbrook Nursery asap, at least to start on planting seeds. The Neighborhood House have windows with good sunlight to get things growing.
We are still looking for gardening tools that anyone can donate. Any Global Scholars have thoughts?
