TopicFuture of Oklahoma Families
ContentFind a way to promote gardening in Oklahoma. Teach ways to beautify your own yard (if you have one) and how to start your own vegetable garden. If you don't have a yard, you could still work with containers of some kind. You don't need a lot of space and it really is a practicle skill to have and could help reduce your grocery bill. If you grow something you can actually eat, it is really exciting! I think kids could have some fun with this if schools had a way to work it into a class or activity. If not, maybe a community center or a local tv station might want to do something. It could be promoted every Spring prior to planting time. If taken on as a community effort, senior citizens might consider volunteering to help with it and teach the younger people. If you had a really big community garden, you could donate food items to the elderly/disabled/needy families in your community. Churches might want to take up the idea.
