Weekly Weed'n'Work


We've settled into weekly work sessions for weeding, planting, feeding, putting up supports, harvesting, tasting, visiting, celebrating and observing. The hardest part? The changing peoplescape. Voices for Youth is a transitional living facility and clients move on too quickly for my liking! But each person is gift, whether with our group for the season or for just a day.
We've tried to use existing materials where possible, e.g. lumber scraps from somebody's garage rather than buying plastic covered rebar for supporting beans. This requires more thought (tweaking) and more labor (installation) but is living stewardship.
