Some of the plants Valeria donated to us are patio tomatoes. Since the Voices for Youth House didn't have any large flower pots, I added that item to the shopping list. But before getting to the store, I took some cardboard to a recyclable drop-off and, right next to that bin of cardboard were... several large flower pots! One man's trash is another man's treasure -- God provides uh-gain! Thank you!
While waiting for the alpaca farm to open (see previous post), we explored the incredible variety of plants at The Garden Place's greenhouse in Norway, MI. They had 50 varieties of tomatoes alone! When Valeria Zanoni (that's her with Noah in the photo above) heard about our project, she generously donated several very healthy plants -- a variety of tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, and squashes. Plus, she provided botanical handouts. Thank you, Valeria! So many good people out there!
