(Atlantic) The Cass County Grow Another Row Committee hosted a free potting event at Mollett Park on August 6th. With great weather, 28 participants attended. This event taught community members how to plant late-season patio plants. Participants planted herbs, radishes, peas, lettuce, and spinach. These crops grow in cooler temperatures, making them perfect patio plants in the early fall months.
Participants also had the opportunity to plant extra pots to donate to the local food pantry. A total of 15 patio pots will be donated to the Atlantic Food Pantry. The Grow Another Row Committee will care for these plants until they are distributed at The Atlantic Food Pantry.
Trivent Funding, Atlantic Parks and Rec, and The Grow Another Row Committee made this event possible. Cass County Grow Another Row Committee is looking forward to planning more events, such as sharing gardening tips and promoting local foods.
