The Tougaloo-Rainbow Sustainable Garden a
href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sustainablegarden/" will
produce high quality food for the Tougaloo educational community
and Rainbow Natural Grocery cooperative community. The garden will
demonstrate community, civic engagement and organic, sustainable
agriculture. We intend this garden to be a place of beauty, joy and
sharing with the outdoor hands-on classroom inspiring additional
sustainable community projects.
The garden got started on May 17, 2008.
DIRECTIONS: Enter Tougaloo College through the
main gate. Take the first left. Follow the road to the end of the
pavement and turn right. Just before the concrete dorm in the sky,
turn left into the woods and follow the road a short distance to a
place to park. You are at the garden.
TO GET INVOLVED: Call Michael Gentry, the garden
coordinator at 601-573-7529. He will be able to tell you when the
next gardening session is and if there is anything you should
bring.
HOW IT WORKS: Everyone who contributes to the
garden can share in the harvest. There is a log book of hours you
garden. That determines your share of the harvest. You can also
contribute your labor directly to the Community Engagement Program
of Tougaloo College or the produce department of Rainbow Natural
Grocery Cooperative.

Mississippi 2020
http://www.mississippi2020.org/ is recycling 20oz plastic pop
bottles into worm compost containers. The program was created by
Terracycle and Rainbow will be one of several area drop points. In
the Plaza and in back of our store we will provide a short box with
Terracycle written on the side. Save all 20oz plastic bottles, no
wide mouths, and bring them to Rainbow. For every bottle we send
in, Mississippi 2020 will recieve 5 cents. This is a wonderful way
to support Jacksons 21-year-old non-profit helping to educate
adults and children on how to live a more sustainable life. To make
a bigger contribution or to volunteer your time you may contact
