All fall plants donated to the Harvest of Hope garden by Good Hope Garden in Blountville. Product donated were broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower for HOH.<br />
<br />

<br />
Dave did a great job showing seminar attendees the correct way to plant and water fall plants to stride during fall and winter months. Special attention must be given to the care of plants due to less sunlight and water.<br />

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<br />

Maybe, while traveling, you have seen quilt blocks located on barns in the midwest. The idea for quilt trails had originated in Ohio, </span><span style="font-size: large;">many years ago,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as a way to honor family & their heritage, <u>and</u> include artistry in the landscape. Now Kingsport, and the greater Northeast Tennessee have one! See <a href="http://quilttrail.org/">QuiltTrail.org.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The painted, wooden quilt block, shown framed and standing upright in photos, was inspired by the original "Grandmother's Flower Garden" quilt, sewn by Pauline J. Taylor back in the 1950's. Taylor's Family and granddaughter, Jill Taylor Parsons, wanted to honor their grandmother by using her quilts to inspire quilt blocks for the trail. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pauline Taylor was not only a quilter and seamstress, but an avid gardener. In addition she was involved in the early Kingsport Farmers Market, which was located across the street from where Harvest of Hope is now. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Although Harvest of Hope (HOH) Community Garden's main goal is involving the public to grow their <i>own</i> food (and <i>some</i> for the community soup kitchens and food pantries), its natural beauty</span><span style="font-size: large;"> made it also a perfect home for the "Grandmother's Flower Garden" Quilt Block. </span><span style="font-size: large;">According to Master Garden Doug Hilton, gardeners can grow whatever they would like, but a portion of everyone’s harvests should be donated to help feed the hungry (<a href="http://www.feedkingsport.org/">www.feedkingsport.org</a>).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Master Gardeners at HOH have designed a landscape plan to embellish the surroundings of the quilt block. Over the next few months, stepping stones will be placed in front of the block so viewers can look up close. Mulch and flowers will be added of course, for further beauty. </span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Grandmother's Flower Garden </i>is a quilt pattern. The quilt is made by cutting small hexagon fabric shapes, then piecing and sewing into a flower/diamond shape. It was a style very popular in the 1930's and led to other quilt pattern blocks styles. Want to know more about the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilting style and its history? </blockquote>
