Stimulus Grant!

Great news! Growcology has been awarded a community stimulus check from BWB: here is the list of grant recipients. I'm so grateful and humbled to be among such great projects as Pisco Sin Fronteras, a group near and dear to my heart that arose from the rubble of the earthquake ravaged town in Pisco, Peru. There are fourteen total stimulus recipients, all of them are so inspirational.

We're going to be spending our grant on heirloom and organic seeds and materials for a localized plant guilds nursery and for building community gardens. We're working all tomorrow on our new welcome area for the learning center, hopefully we'll have all our planting done before it gets too hot...

We'll probably need to make a cooler structure for propagating our seedlings, as it can get ridiculously hot here in Riverside. Here is one of the designs we're looking at. We'd like to be able to grow more of all the great helper and useful plants already growing here and share them with the community.
