Lettuce Link excursion

In support for the Food, Race, and Politics blog, I volunteered with Lettuce Links & Seattle Works and I learned more about community gardening and food distribution. My volunteer group's responsibilities for the day included removing harmful and venous tomato plants that didn't grow properly and were a threat to the soil. After removing the tomato plants, we planted peas. We learned that the farm supports the neighborhood around us by providing the residents a space for crops, but also most of the fruits and vegetables are donated to local families and food banks.

Here's a brief description of Lettuce Links:
Lettuce Link (an innovative food and gardening program growing and giving since 1988) creates access to fresh, nutritious and organic produce, seeds, and gardening information for families with lower incomes
in Seattle. We work to educate the community about food security and sustainable food production.
