3rd annual Kids Garden Contest

Dave here:
​Congratulations from the Transition Town Jericho team to 2024 contest winners!

The purpose of this contest is to contribute to our town's journey toward resiliency and self-sufficiency. We hope that, in a small way, these kids can learn about gardening firsthand, understanding that sowing and growing seeds are fundamental to where food comes from and how it provides for families.

Thanks to the Town of Jericho for funding the project again this year and to Geoff Cole for providing the trailer for transporting the soil and helping make the garden deliveries along with Laura and Dave.  Also a shout out to Lisa Hoare for helping build the raised garden beds and joining for deliveries as well.

This year we had nine winners and are donated the tenth bed to the The Children's Institute at Jericho Inc. held at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

Now I'd like to introduce you to this year's winners; hover your curser over their picture to see what they said they want to grow in their garden.

Several of our competitors drew pictures of their gardens to be, enjoy!

The Transition Town Jericho Team will be out to visit the gardens late July or Early August to see how the gardens are growing.  Stay tuned for that report with some more pictures.
