Catching up: Sustainability Guild

Oof! I got sick two weeks ago, then I spent all last week catching up. Now I'm back up to speed and catching up on my blogging, and there's a whole lot to cover: bean tunnel, new potatoes, gigantic zucchini, escaping pumpkins. Today, I'm going to focus on the Sustainability Guild.

Two Mondays ago, we started transporting all of our remaining seedlings to the Sustainability Guild. On June 25th, Alex loaded up the Prius and drove out to Dorchester. I took these photos before we loaded.

Plenty left to give.

A few gaps where we'd managed to sell seedlings at the Beverly Farmers' Market.

Laura Kozar, Strategic Projects Manager at the Sustainability Guild, came that afternoon and loaded up her car as well. The following morning, she came back with a ZipVan and Renato Riccioni, Sustainability Guild's Creative Director. We all gang-tackled the greenhouse and packed their van.

Sustainability Guild van is nearly full.

Officially stuffed! Off to Dorchester.

Happy High Ground Farmers, Alex and Jenise Aminoff

And why are we looking so happy?

Nothing left on this side but the peppers and beans in their EarthTainers.

Even after all that, we still had a few seedlings left.

So Alex loaded up the car again on Wednesday morning and took all the remaining seedlings to Dorchester.

Even more than having an empty greenhouse, we are delighted that the seedlings will be put to excellent use. Laura described the some of the planned uses for the seedlings: planting in public urban spaces where anyone can just walk up and pick a tomato, vertical plantings on "living walls," and more. Hopefully, we'll hear more from them on how our seedlings are doing in their new urban home.
