Harvesting and Shucking

Today we completed our second Gardening Workshop with folks from Scott Towers in downtown Greenville. During the last session we worked in the harvest house on shucking soy beans and yard long beans as well as saving seeds for the next growing season. The older adults shared in fellowship as they shared stories and memories while working. Following our time in the harvest house we worked in the garden, harvesting food for folks to take home with them. They picked all kinds of fresh tomatoes, basil, watermelon, and cantaloupe. Although it was their last session during the workshop, many wished to continue and come back to visit the Farm. They seemed to really enjoy learning from Tori and Bruce, the Furman Farm managers. We hope to hold another garden workshop for community members of Scott Towers in the fall.
