Organic or Local Food

Classroom Garden Educator: Isabel Dubois - isabeldubois18@gmail.com

Before he passed away in 2019, Brian Glaspell cultivated this garden for many years, donating the majority of the produce to the PT Food Bank, usually about 5,000 lbs per year. His wife, Jeanie, was very happy to discover the Food Bank Growers organization and host the return of the garden's ability to provide for  the food bank.

Packaged Pretzels, Snack Items, and gold. 

Roadside market, 9.00 - 1.00, third Saturday of every month - Organised by the community for the community, most of the foodstuffs on sale are either grown or made locally.

The school established gardens in the front yard in 2019 for classroom activities, fresh vegetables, and fruit production. The produce goes to  school lunches or local food banks. 

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is an evergreen vine that can reach up to 15m in length. It has thick stems and greenish to yellow flowers. The fruits are long, thin pods that contain thousands of tiny, black seeds. Vanilla has fleshy aerial roots that cling to trees and allow it to climb.

A group of St Boswells folk come together to volunteer their time and skills to enhance our local environment for the benefit of all, including looking after planters, improving biodiversity to benefit pollinators, some small scale food growing and tidying forgotten corners.

This high production garden not only serves the students of Port Townsend High School, but the PT Food Bank during the summer months.  Teacher Jennifer Kruse helps students get the most from the plot.  During the summer months Food Bank Growers manage the space. The garden has been feeding students and donating food to the Food Bank since 2012 via this space.  Volunteers meet Fridays 9-11. 

This new community garden was established in early 2024 on site of an old garden, established on derelict land once occupied by housing.

Volunteers welcome. Some beds managed by local groups, others by volunteers. including local schools and nurseries, mental health groups and other community groups.

Alongside the Putticg Green " Club House" there is small community garden designed for children and consisting mostly of fruit shrubs and herbs. 

Originating from New Guinea, the tall, bamboo-like grass known as sugarcane is processed to produce sugar. The history of sugarcane use dates back over 4,000 years to New Guinea, where it is believed to have first been domesticated. From there, sugarcane cultivation spread to Southeast Asia and India. Ancient Indian texts from 1500 BCE mention "śarkarā," which referred to the crude form of sugar extracted from sugarcane. India became the birthplace of crystallized sugar around 500 BCE, significantly advancing the use of sugarcane from a simple source of sweetness to a more refined product.

Lemons have a fascinating history that dates back thousands of years, tracing their origins to northeastern India, northern Myanmar, and China. They are believed to be a hybrid, a cross between the bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) and citron (Citrus medica). The citron was one of the first citrus fruits introduced to the Mediterranean from Persia as early as the 4th century BC. However, lemons as we know them today emerged much later.

Oranges, along with other citrus fruits, originated in the Southeast Himalayan foothills, spanning parts of India, Myanmar, and China. The word "orange" comes from the Sanskrit word "nāranga," referring to the orange tree. Sweet oranges are a hybrid between pomelo and mandarin, with evidence of their ancient ancestry found in fossils from Yunnan, China.
