Garden help needed

When Julie Young moved to Hickory last year, she asked me if I would take over her role to coordinate what goes on at the PSN Seeds of Hope Community Garden.

It's a really cool project - anyone can cultivate a plot and have fresh veggies all summer - and it's time to plant now!

With food prices rising and more and more people becoming obese, a little garden work and more veggies should help people on several levels!

With that said, we need lots of help, especially at this time of year.

Here are some of our needs:

• More people who want plots
• Plot markers
• Help tidying up
• People who would be willing to donate money to the project
• People willing to help do fundraising
• People to help with the cultivation of a community plot
• Equipment, including a storage building
• Signs for the garden

Lastly, I need someone to step up and take over my part of the project. I have a lot of other community obligations and I can't keep up with everything at the same level as last year.

Anyone interested in any of these things should e-mail me at seedsofhopeshelby@gmail.com.
