Have you heard of Project Orange Thumb? We awarded garden grants to 20 gardeners across the country to help them with their garden projects. In addition, we select 3-5 sites across the Americas to do our own version of Extreme Home Makeover--but with a community garden instead of a house! It's awesome because we don't just give money and tools, we actually leave the office and go to the site to work along side the community members to create a spectacular transformation in a day. We'll be tweeting and facebooking from the site, so you can keep an eye on all the action Wednesday.
That's awesome!

Very cool! I can't wait to see what you do. Our community was going to apply but we couldn't get the application done in time! It will be fun to see who won the grants!
