You will probably find some folks who will really appreciate the opportunity to grow their own veggies and hope their success inspires their neighbors. Good luck.

Nancy, you have captured the essence of the situation. I reduced my expectation from hundreds of families jumping into gardening to one family at a time...lol Start slow....Im thinking giving out a free tomato plant to anyone that can show me a pot filled with soil, or something along those lines.....or perhaps I need to kiss the plants good bye and hope most find a bit of earth to grow in.......
