John Walker: Lexington Seed Sale!

Subject: Seed Sale

The Event: Seed sale at The Rock La Roca! March 7, 2009, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
10215 N Limestone St. Lex, KY 40505 859.255.0712

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think might be interested!

What: We will be selling heirloom seeds—varieties that are not available at the local garden store. These varieties have better flavors, distinct looks, and are a part of our “seed heritage.” We’re talking lettuces with awesome flavors, tomatoes that don’t taste like wet cardboard, and beans that are tender and full of fresh flavor.

Why: We are using the money raised to support our work in the community garden. We get lots of food out to hungry people—fresh vegetables from the garden. Last year, in our Summer and Fall gardens, we distributed: beets, cabbage, peppers, broccoli, turnips, radishes, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, spinach, eggplant, 6 different kinds of tomatoes, lenga lenga (an African plant), sweet basil, tomatillos, onions, and sweet potatoes. Each year the garden gets bigger and it feeds more people. But we have equipment and supply costs—and the proceeds from the seed sale will go to make the garden project a self-sufficient and growing ministry.

Who: If you want some of the best varieties of vegetables you have ever grown; if you know a gardener and would like to surprise them with a unique gift for the garden!

How: We would love to welcome you to the Church and show you what we are doing!! But if you can’t make it, but would still love to support the ministry and grow some great veggies, we are also taking mail orders. See the attached file to get our “catalog.” Or if you can’t open the file or it was not attached, please visit my blog: www.markiteight.blogspot.com and you can see the catalog on line.
