February 5, 2023 — We are “hooping” it up because of this incredible donation of a Hoop House for our gardening home base at Victory Home in Tallulah Falls!
This hoop house was donated and installed in in two days last week by the Chestatee-Chattahoochee
RC&D Council. It is located by the existing greenhouse and will allow for earlier and longer growing times.
We will use the new addition to plant cool weather veggies such as lettuce, carrots, radishes, etc. that can be used in meals for the clients of Victory Home, a residential addiction recovery center. We already involve inpatients in our greenhouse activities, helping us to nurture plants intended for our annual plant sale.
We want to give a special shout-out to Habersham Extension Agent Steven Patrick for facilitating this partnership with the Chestatee-Chattahoochee RC&D Council, one of a nationwide network of community-based, non-profit Councils who support agricultural development in their regions.
