Support the growers for HOPELINK

Many local growers, like the Marymoor community gardeners which provide over 8000lbs of produce annually, work in partnership with Hopelink's local food bank. This has worked so well, this year Hopelink provided growers with much of the seeds needed for this effort.

My garden and greenhouse joined this effort last year and we can all use your support.

By making a small charitable donation you can help cover the cost of seeds, and producing some of the starts, like tomato, squashes, peppers and other plants. Typically the growers would have to buy these seeds and plants but your donation can help recover the cost for Hopelink and the growers and then provide these vegetable plant seeds and starts for the Hopelink growers.

Once my flower sales are done in the spring, the efforts in the greenhouse and garden turn to growing food. This year my goal is to see how much we can provide. It's fun and we encourage everyone with a garden space to do the same!
