Port Orchard Nursery

Thursday mornings you can find Lucas and I at the Port Orchard Nursery, managed by South Kitsap Helpline, which is our local food bank. We started volunteering sometime in May, but didn't have a regular schedule until late June. We love it, I am learning so much about gardening, among other things, and Lucas is having a blast digging in the dirt and helping Tiffany - he follows her around like a lost puppy. It's a great bunch of people that work at the food bank, and we are happy to be involved in such a wonderful community service organization.

The Nursery was only recently acquired by the Food Bank, this spring actually. When Lucas and I started, the beds we totally bare. Now they are bursting with carrots, tomatoes, corn, beans, cucumbers, squash, herbs, onions, and many other veggies. There is a huge green house that is managed by a woman that really knows her stuff. It has been a learning process for everyone there - working with beds that have never grow anything more than weeds - and Lucas and I are very privileged to have the opportunity to help out any way we can. We look forward to our Thursday mornings out at the Nursery:)
