Hoop Houses

 Doug Hilton showed gardeners how to make raised bed Hoop Houses.  Hoop Houses act as temporary greenhouses to keep frost from killing seedlings.

Future Happenings at HOH

Future:   Planter for an Herb, Sensory Garden for children of all abilities & disabilities.

Future:    Water Line to run from middle of garden to the west, so that gardeners will have access to hose and water from that side of the garden. 

Also possibly in the future....
HOH, along with United Way, Kingsport Housing, City of Kingsport, D.B.H.S. FFA Volunteer Agriculture class, and others hope to help Lee Family Learning Center build a children's garden near Lee apartments. This garden would be a great interactive and learning activity for children as well as providing families with fresh produce. This idea fits perfectly into Harvest of Hope's mission

Harvest of Hope Community Garden helps individuals and families in Kingsport, Tennessee grow food for themselves and their community.
