Ground has been broken for a new greenhouse out by the Byrd House Farmlet. Josh McVeigh, one of our Associate Board members is leading the effort. Josh has been laying the groundwork (no pun intended) for this project for several months. He arranged for Richmond Window Corp. to donate old windows that otherwise would have been destroyed. He also drew up the plans and is coordinating with Home Depot who is generously supporting this effort. The greenhouse will allow us to start seedlings as early as January each year for transplanting to our Farmlet. The Byrd House Farmlet is a 1/4 urban production farm located behind William Byrd Community House. All the produce harvested from the Farmlet goes directly to our on-site Food Pantry for distribution to individuals and families seeking food assistance.
