Seeds of Hope is a collaboration between One Vegetable One Community and Meeker Cares in response to COVID-19. Research shows gardening positively impacts our health and well being and can reduce depression and anxiety. Gardening also creates many opportunities to connect with others.

Seeds of Hope provides FREE seed packets and growing instructions for Calendula flowers 🌸 and Cherry Tomatoes 🍅. We also have personal postcards featuring local artists to share with whoever you think may enjoy an extra spot of brightness in their day. Community members are encouraged to find creative ways to connect with each other through gardening and sharing cards to boost morale or express appreciation. Cards and seeds can be picked up at the following locations:
