Part of the focus of our garden education here at Orca is to grow starter plants for local schools, community gardens, and neighborhood groups. These plants are free! If you want to grow food for students or people in need-we got you covered. Dig?
This is social justice that you can eat, food security that fills your belly, and environmental stewardship that is delicious. Orca is trying to be fresh, local, and all about the people. We are donating hundreds, maybe thousands of plants to all types of organizations this year- you could be next. Contact us at orcagarden@gmail.com to get involved with us in any way.

Anthony:
Thanks so much for your generous donation of plants to McGilvra Elementary. Go ahead and add me to your e-mail list of volunteers. I’d be happy to come volunteer at your next sale.
