Hello i'm Graham Kerr i want to connect three things here my garden festival
At this cabbage as he conceived freshly plucked out of the ground
and this book
it's an opportunity that i've got to be able to share about these things with
you
for a whole day
on the fifteenth of september at Furneys Nursery in Des Moines
Let me tell you a quick saying about these three things first of all
i have a garden that i referred to as an abundant harvest and it's really
interesting because
AmpleHarvest.org is an organization that connects me
to food banks and food pantries
all across the United States to
five thousand five hundred different food banks
and food pantries
I'm truly in the network now connecting to millions
of backyard gardener's just like me
so when i get to see
my plants coming to a sufficiency and their abundant as far as i'm
concerned because I can't eat them all
and I deliberately planted more in order to be able to share it
I go online and I find out where I am near my nearest food bank is and when
they can receive great fresh produce I can pluck it out of the ground and take it
straight down there
i know the time of the day when they receive it from me
and then it goes quickly to those people who have a need
and how wonderful
for them to be able to get the kind of freshness
straight out of my garden
that they can enjoy just like I do
So the reason why would connect that then with my garden and this book
here
answered i have a few copies of this book
and the first three hundred and fifty people
who turned out at Furney's Nursery on the fifteenth of September
will get paid free copy of this I will sign it before you it'll be our gift
to you
but just turning up
to find out how to take great produce
and get it to great people at an important time
like the one we are living in at the moment. Wont you join me
i'd love to find
the opportunity of just chatting with you about all of this
Its a great idea.
