Hello Grow Appalachia Family and Followers,

Happy Spring!! Over-the-Rhine People’s Garden is SO excited for our third year with Grow Appalachia. New plans for our partner site this year include selling produce at two local Farmers Markets. Along with training local restaurant owners of Buona Terra how to grow all the produce they need for their delicious crapes and gelato. All around we are excited for the year ahead, can’t you tell?!?

In the month of March we have had several work days to prepare the garden space for spring planting. We would like to thank the Outdoor Adventure Club who came to the garden a few Saturdays ago to give us many helping hands. You all are amazing and we are so grateful for the help!! See what we accomplished together:)
