Seeding Change: Where Our Donations Went in 2015
Each year High Mowing donates thousands of seed packets to schools, non-profits and community groups across the country--and this year was no exception, with a whopping 143,657 packets donated to over 600 different recipients! But where did they all go? What did those seeds become? Here are a few ways our donated seeds had powerful and far-reaching impacts this year...
In Vermont we partner with the Vermont Community Garden Network, KidsGardening.org & Gardener's Supply to provide free seeds to garden groups all over the state. This year we sent them 7,875 seed packets which were distributed to:
- 340+ low-income gardeners in Burlington, VT
- 140 garden leaders at Grow It! workshops
- 95 school & education sites
- 45 migrant farmworker gardens
- 20 community gardens
- 16 childcare centers
- 11 workplaces
- 9 Gardens for Learning sites
- 6 affordable housing sites
- 2 food pantries
- 1 senior center
- 1 library
I live in a small Island name Union Island in St. Vincent & The Grenadines and love gardening. I also love to try different things. I tried cantelope this year and picked one today, you can imagine how excited I was. If you can please send me a donation of different seeds. Thank you.
