Saline Community Garden spot gets approval!

Check out the story in the paper today-- the space for a community garden in Saline was approved! Calesta Harrison, participant in Growing Hope's CSGDI (Community & School Garden Development Institute) last fall has worked tirelessly to garner community support, funding, and great press for this project. We are so very proud of her work, and will echo our favorite mantra-- MORE GARDENS!
