The Hope Farm was planted by our partners at the Remnant Generation in an effort to provide sustainable nutritious foods for the young women, children, and expecting mothers living at the princess shelter. This year we have seen significant growth in both crops planted and interest in tending to the gardens.
At the beginning of the year there were 50 beds producing crops, now that number has expanded to 125 beds! This expansion is a result of additional seeds being donated and the successful transplant of healthy crops from one garden bed to another. Additionally, many residents are taking an interest in gardening. One of the young women, Annet, takes charge in caring for the garden. She loves to tend to the garden and teach other residents how to keep the crops healthy, and harvest the vegatation.
