April Showers, Vegetables, Seedlings

Spring is in full swing at the Growing Hope Center.

Look for Growing Hope produce at Vinology in Ann Arbor and Beezy's in Ypsilanti. On May 5th you can purchase fresh veggies, herbs, and transplants at the Downtown Ypsilanti Farmers Market.

Growing Hope's crew of dedicated volunteers have been instrumental in our big spring projects so far. We've been woodchuck proofing the hoophouse, potting up seedlings donated from Raker and the Michigan State Student Organic Farm. We've also been spending many hours putting together 12" pots for our Spring Plant Sale.

Jeff McCabe of The Selma Cafe lead the construction of installation of a roll up side for the hoophouse. Local carpenter Ian built us a barn door for the hoophouse. Stop by the Growing Hope Center at 922 W. Michigan Ave. sometime and check it out.
