Ed Hume Seed Company donated over 1000 pounds of quality vegetable and flower seeds to Parkway Partners so that we could circulate the seeds to the gardeners of New Orleans.
This is the second year in a row!

Special thanks in coordinating the effort go to Hands On New Orleans and Fed Ex/Kinkos who generously handled moving the huge shipment from Seattle to Parkway Partners. Pictured above is Macon Fry our "garden guy" and community gardeners, Jeanette Bell and Jimmy Delery sorting seeds.

Come by for seeds for your garden!

On Rampart Street, squash, radishes, lots of greens, broccoli, cauliflower flow out in a picture-perfect micro-farm that would make any Southerner salivate. This Bywater Neighborhood garden is aptly named Mission Utopia.

Gardener Kweku Naawie is far from the standard Southern farmer although his roots to family farming run deep. "I learned to farm in an area north of Austin. My Grandfather was an old school gardener," said Naawie. By trade, Naawie is a Cabinet Maker and Carpenter in New Marigny. But he can be found in his garden every morning, harvesting or tending the next crop. So why does he do it? "It gives me the ability to eat good food every day."

We can ReLeaf your neighborhood streets with free street trees and the approval of the Department of Parks and Parkways.
