The concept is pretty self-explanatory, and can make an enormous difference in another person’s life: as you plan this year’s garden, just aim to plant one extra row of whatever you’d normally cultivate—like tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, onions, peppers, squash, cucumbers and beans.

It really doesn’t take much extra effort to grow a little extra for those in need, and if everyone with a garden put this idea into play, the results would be absolutely incredible. 

To donate your extra row, or for more information, please contact Summer Jenkins at sjenkins@thecornertable.org or 828-464-0355.
