Sprouts News!

So many vegetables growing happily…

The new Sprouts year has been a success! In April and May we were able to give away over 800 vegetable starts which will eventually result in more produce in Food Bank bellies. In 3 deliveries, we gave 584 plants to the Ballard Food Bank itself for patrons to take and grow. At our Plant Giveaway we distributed another 250 plants to giving gardeners around the neighborhood. We’ve been working hard on creating some beautiful raised beds for our Sustainable Ballard Giving Gardens and planted another 150 or so starts in our 2 Giving Garden locations. We can’t wait to show off the beautiful gardens in the 2028 Edible Garden Tour! If you’d like to see our progress before that, contact Jenny to be a Sprouts/Giving Garden volunteer.
