This Corner benefits the Community Tool Shed where you can borrow equipment ranging from rakes and shovels to wheelbarrows to tillers.

Demonstrations on the 17th include using a rain barrel, recycling, getting a library card, recipes and cooking demonstrations, making compost, drying herbs, obtaining property from the Land Bank, and using the big equipment at the tool shed.

When you order an edible flint garden starter kit for $15, you will receive organic transplants grown by Walker Farms and WOJOs and organic seeds purchased in bulk and repackaged for your garden.  Each edible flint Garden Starter Kit contains 11 varieties of transplants (about 40 plants), potatoes, and 19 kinds of seeds – enough for about a 1500 square foot garden (30’ x 50’). The transplants this year include:  Peppers, collards, okra, watermelon, spinach, kale, cabbage, broccoli, 2 kinds of tomatoes and Yukon gold potatoes.  Order forms at edible flint at 605 N.
