Special Event:

Grow the Green
( add purple and gold later…)

The New Orleans Food and Farm Network Gave away 1,000 lbs of winter rye grass seed to New Orleans residents wanting to bring some green back into their lives. Residents from nearly all of the areas neighborhoods showed up to receive 5-15 lbs of free rye grass seed with instructions on how to grow and revitalize their soil. Special packets of hand-picked poppy flower seeds were also distributed.
