Three Sisters Garden Project Devastating Loss and How to Help

Three Sisters Garden Project is an amazing non-profit that grows food to help people who are food insecure. My heart goes out to these folks as I know full well how much work and money has gone into getting their growing season started. Here is the full article but I also wanted to share a direct link to donate so here it is: https://threesistersgarden.org/donate

And here is a link to the Three Sisters website with the full story:  https://threesistersgarden.org/

Despite the utter devastation, what struck me as so extraordinarily kind is that executive director Liz Green is quoted in the article as saying she and her staff aren’t looking to “get anybody devastatingly in trouble. I’m sure people didn’t understand how important those plants are and how much food they were going to provide to the community or they wouldn’t have done it.”

Instead, she invites anyone who was involved to come forward and work with them to repair the damage.

“Just come forward, try to make it right,” Green said. “We’d really welcome that.”

Three Sisters still plans to host its seedling sale at the end of next month, and Green remains both hopeful and positive, even in the face of loss.

“We’re not giving up,” she said.
