THE BENDERDIGGER BEGINS – The Benderdigger will launch its first youth gardening pilot project in the River Island community of Evans this month. The Benderdigger uses funds raised at the Benderdinker to create local youth gardening projects in partnership with Augusta Locally Grown. The River Island Garden Project will feature “hugelkulture” raised beds to demonstrate the benefits of an organic, low-water system. Project coordinator Kristina Williams is currently looking for adult volunteers. Please email her at benderdinker@gmail.com if you can help. For more info, visit benderdigger.com.

VEGGIE TRUCK FARMERS MARKET UPCOMING EVENTS:
Tuesday, JULY 9 — “HOLY SMOKES BBQ” … the sale of bbq dinners during the farmers market (4:30pm-7pm) will benefit outreach youth programs at St. Luke UMC.

Tuesday, July 16 — “SUMMER HEALTH FESTIVAL” … lots of fantastic energy and efforts is going into the planning of this event by GRU medical students. The event will also celebrate the last day of Camp Veggie Truck. Cooking demos, kids fitness activities and lots of healthy fun will be had during the market hours of 4:30pm-7pm. There might even be a flash mob dance at 6pm (but ssshhh … that’s a secret!)

See you there!
