A little seed today will grow and produce a harvest toward health in our community tomorrow!
United Way of Marathon County, Hsu Growing and
Fork Farms would like to encourage people to grow plants today. This is a safe and solo volunteer option in the time of social distancing. Simple seedlings can be started in your home with most supplies in your own kitchen or garage. If you need seeds mailed to your home, please
click here. Seeds will be sent as available. See example
YouTube videos here. There is also a great
Facebook Live Video that shows multiple kitchen container gardens.
Containers such as used egg cartons, dixi cups, plastic food containers or water bottles can be used to start seeds. Available seeds such as lettuce, basil and other vegetables will be available as supplies last. Potting soil, top soil or any dirt will work for starting seeds. The Neighbors Place and Community Garden will gladly take your plants this summer for their gardens.
