Today is World Kindness Day.
But really every day is.

Let's use the excuse that every day is World Kindness Day to be extraordinarily kind for no reason.

When we say the Earth 7 AmeriCorps NCCC Southwest Region team came to work...we are serious.

Things just got amplified!!

We have a tractor to help us build our community based effort and, literally build the gardens. 🚜🪴

This is huge!

After a lot of hurdles, we are knocking them all down, partnered with some incredible people and programs, and planting roots of community. 🌿❤️

We are really happy to announce that Steve Lovelace and Jamie Purcell , who have helped build 5 community gardens already, are leading the teams of volunteers and making this farm a reality.

They are supported by long time partner Kim Summerall-Wright and Joe Dedic along with The City of Casper, WY and Casper Housing Authority and Earth 7 AmeriCorps NCCC Southwest Region team!

There's a groundswell of support and this is happening!

Here's a big cheer to the start of our AmeriCorps NCCC Southwest Region Earth 7 team.

They showed up to work! Even in this fall weather, they got so much done on day 1.

The geo dome is ready to be planted.

The mountains of mulch have begun to move.

They toured all of the programs of Casper Housing Authority and CHA CARES and they got their hands dirty.

Watch what happens next!

It's cold and wet today but the plants in the dome are still happy.

We knocked the snow off the new trees (gently) and are grateful for the moisture.
