Brandon is a member of the 2005-2006 BLAST Cadre. This is an update on his project.

I have to attend a P.T.O. Meeting tonight at 6:00 at the Local elementary school, to discuss my newest project and that is to start a youth gardening program where we will attempt to grow veggies all year round. I will discuss the importance of getting the youth involved at such an early age and then move into global warming topics, and how to resolve some on our own scale. Then I will bring up what we are going to be doing in our project, I will be building Cold Frames and starting out at that level then gradually progress up to a green house.

I am hoping the community and parents will be psyched about the idea and encourage us to keep it up. But if we get shot down then… back to the drawing board. That would stink because just yesterday I was at a pizza place and I started to pitch them the idea of them getting fresh organic veggies from us and to use them for their pizzas. But I wasn’t sure yet if we would even be having veggies to give, so ….my bad!! Ha! I think the school will want it though, the principal is all for it.
