Gardening / planning season is upon us! (if you're in Seattle, don't miss the Tilth Alliance May Edible plant sale on the 2nd!) And while you're planning, please consider growing a little extra to donate. Donating your extra harvest is a fantastic way to make an impact this growing season and the Fresh Food Connect app makes it easy to find local donation partners like pantries and hunger relief organizations. Last year alone, Fresh Food Connect facilitated healthy food access for over 30,000 individuals. Home gardeners like you and me donated a whopping 50,000 pounds of produce through the app. This translates to approximately 40,000 healthy meals served and a significant reduction of 26 tons of CO2e emissions. How Can You Help? You can pledge as little as 1 pound of produce (which is roughly equivalent to 3 medium-sized tomatoes). Even if you’re a newbie gardener, like me, this is a super manageable amount that can make a big difference. The Fresh Food Connect team has set a goal of 25,000 pounds of homegrown produce pledged by May 31! Ready to pledge? Click on the link in comments and share the bounty from your garden! 🌱🍅🥕

JOIN OUR TEAM: there is a growing movement towards sustainability, healthy living, and fostering stronger family and community ties. Amidst this trend, an innovative initiative has emerged by our charitable organization, Vlada’s Seeds of Life: seed donations to public libraries. This seemingly simple act holds the potential to make a profound impact on individuals and communities alike, promoting sustainable practices, encouraging healthier lifestyles, and fostering more quality family time. The “Little Sprouts” seed donations to public libraries represent more than just a practical solution for accessing seeds; they are a catalyst for positive change within our communities. By promoting sustainability, encouraging healthy living, and fostering quality family time, these initiatives are sowing the seeds of a brighter, more resilient future. As we continue to embrace the values of self-sufficiency, environmental stewardship, and community building, let us remember the profound impact that something as simple as a packet of seeds can have on the world around us. Together, let’s cultivate thriving communities from the ground up.

Growing and nurturing - plants, people, community, physical and mental wellbeing 🪴 🌱 🍃 Love this initiative. Social connection, outdoor time, gentle physical activity. “One group of more than 300 people aged over-50 following a particular project. Results showed: * 86 per cent felt less isolated and socialised more * 76 per cent said they had become more engaged in their local community” Their useful resources: * The RHS community gardens directory for groups nationwide * Incredible Edible groups if you are interested in growing food together * Gardening Organic directory listing of organic gardening groups nationwide * Men's Shed's Association are community spaces for men to connect. Activities vary by 'shed', but some help with projects at gardens and parks and share gardening / allotment tips. For anyone who would like to start up their own local 'shed', they also offer plenty of help and encouragement. Particularly good to see initiatives targeting men’s health too. Men, historically, are perhaps less likely to access support regarding their health - mental health especially. Building supportive communities has such potential for improving wellbeing. #HealthandWellbeing #HolisticHealth #MensHealth #HealthOptimisation
