Y HYPE Teen Camp Partners with HOH

On May 29th, the Kingsport YMCA 'HYPE Teen Camp' visited the Harvest of Hope Community Garden.  The teens' service work included: weeding, digging, moving soil, and generally making the garden a welcoming place for all.  There certainly was a lot of service, leadership, and learning, but most of all they look like they just had fun!

Thank you Y Hype Teen Camp for all your efforts and making HOH Gardens beautiful !!

A Few Tidbits for Garden Members

Happy Spring!

Here are a few tidbits of information for our Harvest of Hope (HOH) Community Garden Members.

   



 
• Master Gardeners (MG's) will be on hand at the HOH Community Garden at 10am-ish in the mornings on:
  
  Mondays, Wednesdays, & Saturdays.
  [May possibly be available some Saturday evenings (TBA)]

• A Bulletin Board is up on the left-hand side of garden shed for any announcements, current info, forms, etc.
• Got Questions?  Go to the Garden on the above days to talk with MG's in person.  If you have a question, and cannot meet at those times, leave a message on the bulletin board on the left side of the garden shed.
• In addition to weeding, watering, and maintaining your own
  
  raised bed(s), Volunteer Garden Members are asked to maintain the space surrounding their raised bed by weeding the gravel area (& disposing the weeds/trash).

    

• Garden Compost Bags recently donated by Lowes [Thank you]. Available for member use.

• NEW!  Raised Bed Labeling
  
  

• Coming Soon: Weigh Station
  This will be put in a covered area next to existing shed. Although members can take home some of produce that they grow for themselves, they are encouraged to log (see forms by bulletin board) and donate some of these foods to the Food Pantries, etc.  See FeedKingsport.org.    The weigh station will be used to weigh vegetables that are donated.

Happy Gardening !
