Thanks for the kind words. This last...Hi, everyone! Thanks for the kind words. This last year has been a real eye-opener for me, in seeing how badly schools have been affected by decreased funding, especially poorer communities that don't have the resources to make up the difference with dedicated parcel taxes and other ways to raise money. Resurrecting an aging, abandoned greenhouse complex has been an incredible challenge, and I stand in awe of how much the teacher I work with has been able to do, with what amounts to duct tape and baling wire to bring everything back to some resemblance of working order. Plus, I have to give credit to the many teenagers who have spent time pulling weeds, scrubbing walls and walkways, and organizing what supplies we've managed to acquire. I’ve managed to raise some money selling vegetable starts and succulent containers, to buy needed tools, soil and pots, but it’s only a small fraction of what’s needed to create a viable program so we can restart formal classes in horticulture and plant science. Plus, my fingers itch to improve the sad state of the landscaping around the school. For those of you that are local, feel free to contact me thru Gerhard for a visit, and Kathy, I’ll have Eric Dyer, the teacher whom I’m working with, contact you about your kind offer to help.
