MHC’s community gardens could not do what we do without the amazing support of the Bloomington Community and some of Bloomington’s most sustainable local businesses and farms.  For three years Abundant Harvest Farms has offered bags of organic plant food to the gardens, giving a boost to our soil.  Read more about them below from River, our Harmony Garden Intern.  We are also thrilled to thank LIFE Certified Organic Farm for an incredibly generous donation of over 100 plants for our community gardens.  LIFE supplied the gardens with Cal Wonder peppers, Genovese basil, Rainbow Lights Swiss chard, Crimson Sweet tomatoes, and Jalapeno peppers.

A message from River: I recently had the pleasure of meeting Ann Hawkes-Johnson & Ferrol Johnson of Abundant Harvest Farms while I was gardening at Harmony. They were so kind to donate some of their amazing Organic Plant and Garden Food. It’s people like them that make all the difference. When we all work together amazing things seem to happen. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the many volunteers who come out to the gardens every week. Two of my favorite helpers are my kids. Kids in the garden help us to remember to not take ourselves to serious. They certainly keep me grounded and make my garden intern experience special. Thank you all so much. See you in the gardens.
