The Kansas Farm Service Agency participated in the People’s Garden Initiative by planting a container garden at the state office. The garden consists of green and red bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, thyme, Swiss chard and strawberries. Employees brought in extra planters from home and the fruits, vegetables and herbs were purchased from a local garden store. All produce will be donated to the Flint Hills Breadbasket in Manhattan, Kan.
“This is an opportunity to share knowledge about food production while helping others who may not have enough food to eat,” said State Executive Director Adrian Polansky.
