Harvesting Hope

I spotted the inspiring Harvesting Hope project via Julie Ree, who created the gorgeous Crafters for Obama logo that a lot of folks used during the campaign. Harvesting Hope is an inspiring answer to President Obama’s call to service that Julie Ree’s mom started with a bunch of her Obama campaign buddies.

Harvesting Hope is a group of folks in Williamsburg, VA, who have been creating container gardens for 100-plus food-pantry recipients and people living in local subsidized housing communities. Our hope is to sprout gardening communities in these neighborhoods — and help these folks build community gardens.

You can read more on their blog–I was fascinated by the way their container gardening system works. Also, check out Julie Ree’s blog post on the topic as well.
