- Planting the garden in May.

When we originally decided to plant the garden, it was mostly to provide a more Whole Foods Market-type of landscaping, but as our plans grew, no pun intended, our intent changed as well. Since what we have is not the traditional community garden that is cared for by members of the community, we realized this would be a good opportunity to help our friends at the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle(IFFS) with their new Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR) program. IFFS is doing their part with the recently initiated Farm and Community Garden project that includes the PAR program, a production and teaching farm and the implementation of several community gardens in Wake County neighborhoods. So, besides pledging the fruits (and vegetables) of our garden to IFFS/PAR, we would like to invite our customers to share their garden bounty with our neighbors in need. We will be a drop site for anyone interested in donating produce to the PAR program. If you are interested in donating any of your fresh produce please stay tuned for details about when you can begin dropping it off here at the store. Until then, enjoy these pictures of our garden, or even better come by and check it out in person!
