The folks at the Palermo Community Center thank everyone who has ordered citrus through Florida Indian River Groves, as well as those who have pitched in to the SeedMoney Challenge Grant.
The fruit is picked, packed, and shipped within 24 hours and is guaranteed to be in perfect condition when it arrives, or your money is refunded. However, in order to make sure it arrives before Christmas, please be sure and order these sweet, healthy treats by 5 p.m., on Wednesday, December 15.
December 15 is also the deadline for donating to the SeedMoney Challenge Grant on behalf of the Palermo Community Garden. They’d like to see a strong finish to this campaign, which will help volunteers replace worn-out tools, purchase new seeds, replenish the 28 raised beds with soil amendments, and protect cherries from birds with bird net. Last year, they had an amazing garden, with 6-foot high purple kale, brussels sprouts, and collards. The garden produced over 350 pounds of greens and veggies for the Palermo Food Pantry. If they raise enough money, they may even be able to build a small greenhouse to start seedlings. That way they can also share seedlings with Food Pantry participants.
Responsible journalism is hard work!
