Amy Holman

I forgot to check back and see how it was going. I'm so glad to be a part of Swale.

I'm so happy to be a small part of this important project in NY! Here in my part of CT we stop at our road-side stands, (fewer and fewer), and buy fresh produce..or step outside for blueberries, chives, and squash from our gardens. We forget the kids next door who've never picked a peach or an apple, or eaten a strawberry from the vine. I look forward to my seed packs. Grow Strong!
Finn Wrage
I am so happy that your Project was successfully funded and I'm proud, that I could take a little part in it !!!
I hope your Garden grows more and more <3

I am delighted this has realised it's funding goal, it's an inspiring and vital project. Wishing you all the best with it. Come and make it happen in the Baltic Sea when you have completed this phase of it.
