project orange thumb
Do you spend a lot of time gardening? My dad has a garden every year and I can usually find him out in his garden every night just before dark. He waters and picks vegetables. He really loves his garden. I love it because I benefit from the fruits (or vegetables in this case) of his harvest. I haven’t had a ton of luck with a vegetable garden. We grew awesome broccoli one year and just haven’t done it again. I do like to work on the flower gardens around our home. I have unfortunately neglected them for a few years because I didn’t want to be “outside” much. I feel a renewal and interest in beautifying the yard once again and for that I am thankful. It amazes me what people can get done when they work together. For instance, when Matt and I work outside together we get so much done. Last Spring my sister in law (terri) came over and helped with a flower bed. It was so nice to have a helper and I really appreciated it.
Fiskars is sponsoring Project Orange Thumb. Over 500 applications were received from across the US. Passionate and creative videos, songs, posters, and artwork flooded our office – making the decision extremely difficult. In response, we have awarded 13 community garden grants this year. Get inspired to create your own community garden with some ideas from our recipients. There is so much creativity and self expression in gardening!
