Jesse Gates Edible Forest in June

We stopped in during a workday at the Jesse Gates Edible Forest at Wells Church. We nibbled blueberries and visited for a few minutes with neighbors and other volunteers. You can see below how things are coming along. Remember, this is a partnership with the Mississippi Urban Forest Council, the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, Wells Church, and Operation Shoestring.

I loved this bean leaf.
A tiny peach.
An onion.
A plum.
Beans!
Our project director, Loy Moncrief, and volunteers, Jane Streets, Sheila and Bobby Robinson.
