Hello! Fall is here! Seedleaf is gearing up for market this Sunday. Expect to see:

Baby Butternut Squash

And more from our lovely market gardeners excited to see you there!

Have you had a persimmon yet? Persimmons are soft and sweet orange fruits that are ready in the fall, we have several trees that are full of ripe persimmons at the North Pole Garden on 905 N Limestone and at the London Ferrill Garden on 245 E Third Street, when they are soft before a frost they can be a little astringent, but leaving them overnight in the refrigerator might help! 😋

Let your creativity shine through THIS Saturday September 26th at Seedleaf’s London Ferrill Community Garden 🍂
At this event learn how to turn what’s growing in our backyards into fabric dye. Don’t miss this chance to have fun, connect with fellow crafty neighbors, and take home a stylish tote bag decorated with your designs! 🎨

It’s FIG season at the Seedleaf gardens! Head over to 311 Nelson Avenue and pick the biggest figs that you see (they have to be a little bit tender), and maybe bicycle on the legacy trail while you are there! 🚲 Don’t forget to say thank you to the wasps for pollinating this tasty treat!

We are passionate about helping more neighbors grow food and eat well! Our gardens help us do that by:

    •    LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS - Our mission is to help more people eat nutritious food grown in their community. This is done through sharing fruits and veggies grown in our 10 free, u-pick community gardens and by donating excess harvest to community partners. These partners also work to ensure our neighbors have the healthy food that we all need.  🥕

    •    PROVIDING RESOURCES - We help people grow food for themselves and others. Whether it is at hands-on workshops or volunteering opportunities, Seedleaf provides the resources and knowledge folks need to grow in the spaces they can access - community gardens, home gardens, or even containers. 💕

    •    FAMILIAR FOOD - We want neighbors to recognize and have a say in what is being grown in our gardens. For instance, thanks to the input from volunteers and neighbors of the Wilson Community Garden, it will be undergoing a fall makeover - new crops are coming soon! 🪴
