I’m looking forward to volunteering again through HandsOn New Orleans tomorrow (Saturday 6/20) for the Mid-City Community Garden. I volunteered on March 21st as the project coordinator and had an absolute blast. Brock (Joe Brock) who started the garden on his back porch has expanded into an abandoned parking lot which with the help of volunteers was cleared and the space has been donated for gardening.
The garden is sustained through Brock’s efforts, as well as through membership to the garden and farmer’s markets around the city. Brock learned to garden from his father and his goal with the MCCG is to teach others how to garden so they can start eating fresh and organic themselves.
It’s going to be hot tomorrow with a forecast of 95 degrees!
