Hosted by Norristown YouthFORCE for ages 13 - 18 only. Learn techniques to reduce stress and practice mindful meditation.

With the help of Ms Caitlin from Greener Partners, @montcooic after school students spent their early dismissal removing the summer crops and planting garlic!

We love getting students excited about growing fresh food!

Spent part of the day preparing Norristown Project’s urban garden for our expansion project! This is possible thanks to a grant we received from Whole Cities

The 2019 gardening season is here! Kids from Montgomery County OIC are caring for the seedlings until they are ready to go in the ground.

If your child is currently in 6th or 7th grade at ESTLA, @StewartMiddle, or East Norriton MS they are eligible for free tuition for Montgomery County OIC’s Camp Xtreme thanks to a GEAR UP grant. Parents must submit deposit to reserve your space. Call 610-279-9700 for details.

Special thanks to students from @cabriniuniv who visited our urban garden yesterday to test the soil!

We made so progress in the urban garden in just two years! Thanks to a grant from Whole Cities, Norristown Project will continue to expand to serve more families.

These massive heirlooms are being distributed to families today!

Today I led a team project for Rock the Block for the 3rd year in a row. Special thanks to Genuardi Family Foundation for lending a hand in Norristown Project’s garden!

Watermelon harvested from Norristown Project’s garden grown by our middle school group! #GEARUp Montgomery County OIC

The urban garden will go on as planned, despite having an after school group to grow the seeds. Our mission this year is to serve the community with vegetable plants and produce! Coronavirus won’t win.

Update on the urban garden seedlings! They are doing so well in their new self-watering kits. With the after school closed at the moment, this product came in handy.

The after school is still closed until further notice but the work in the garden must continue. Today we planted onions, Brussel sprouts, Swiss chard, spinach, and snap peas!

Stay home.

Making room for additional garden beds! We are excited for another expansion project underway in our urban garden.

Perfect day for some tomatoes and peppers in the garden!
