On this week’s Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, gets his hands dirty with two fellow plant and produce lovers, Noah Curtis, Founder of Pineal Gardens, and Doug Lowry (aka "Plantaclaus”) with the Sowers of Justice Network. Pineal Gardens has launched a new project to make surplus fresh food and plants available to the community through Trading Posts that act much like a Little Free Library or Pantry but for plants and garden produce. They hope to expand to more than the current dozen locations and are looking for potential property owner hosts, especially in West Louisville and other neighborhoods suffering from food apartheid where these plant and food sharing stations can be of tremendous benefit.
This is a great way to share extra produce and flowers from your garden, house-plants, and native plant starts with your neighbors! To support the work, you can join the Pineal Facebook group and like the Pineal page but more importantly use and support these trade stations. One way to help get the ball rolling is to post photos of shares in the Pineal Facebook group and other neighborhood groups when you have shared or when you will share, especially given how hot it will be in the weeks ahead. This is next level mutual aid and neighborhoods support!
Check out some of the existing stations:
1. 1852 Harvard drive (Highlands)
2. Above the dirt garden shop (J- town)
3. 3804 Billtown road
4. Rainbow blossom (St Matthews)
