Please email me annettecottrell (at) yahoo.com to get your prize and begin your child’s garden.
And for everyone who didn’t win please note the handouts are posted for free along with some directions on where to start when putting in a new garden. All you would need to do is buy the seeds.
When you are shopping for seeds you may want to consider buying from places near you that trial them for your particular environment or are committed to saving heirloom, open pollinated seeds. By growing and eating these foods you are helping to preserve them and their genetic diversity, as well as boosting your nutritional intake. Heirloom varieties contain significantly more nutrients than the handful of varieties that make up the bulk of veggies at the store which are bred for looks and shelf life. Flavor = nutrition. Life is too short to eat bland veggies, and the more of them you eat the shorter it will be.
