We love to be involved in the gardening community, both hydroponic and soil-based. There are so many amazing programs going on all over the country to teach adults and children how to grow their own veggies, fruit and ornamentals. It’s so great to see people sharing the knowledge. New Urban Farmers, in Pawtucket, RI does amazing work to empower low-income families and individuals to increase their own health and food security through gardening. They are a non-profit organization that has set out to preserve and restore the environment by creating sustainable agricultural systems in the city. By becoming stewards of the land, they also found opportunities to educate and empower others.
We decided to support them in the best way we can (from the other coast): by donating some of the best of our GH & GO products to help improve their gardening success! We sent them coco fiber, to add to seedling mixtures, potting soils and all types of growing media. We sent them several General Organics fertilizers, to enrich and enliven the soil. We also donated Alaska Humus, which increases biological soil diversity, nutrient availability and overall stability.
We can’t wait to see how this awesome organization continues to flourish in the future!
