Selling Produce to the Community Fresh, local produce is coming! JIG will be selling fresh, naturally grown produce at affordable prices from the Raksha Sethi Medical Mall Garden in late Spring and through the Summer on Saturdays at the corner of W. Northside Drive and Medgar Evers Blvd. We will sell your favorite veggies, including, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and more. JIG plans to host gardening workshops in the Summer and Fall so that people can learn how to plant their own backyard garden to feed their family.
Youth Volunteer of the Year "Learn to do common things uncommonly well; we must always keep in mind that anything that helps fill the dinner pail is valuable."
Seth gave 300 hours of service in 2011. We salute him as

From driving the tractor, to hauling and scooping chicken manure (organic fertilizer), Seth gives it 110% until the very end. He works hard, has a good attitude, completes tasks, leads other volunteers, and looks forward to doing it again. Why I Garden:

There’s never been a more faithful volunteer than Seth Roberts. He is at the garden with Farmer Tre’ on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and the days in between when the work can’t wait, and the Farmer says “Come on, we have work to COME

“Gardening at JIG is the way I serve my community. I provide the garden with my work and agricultural skills, but it provides me with much more. It provides me with a productive outlet, physical fitness, and work skills. Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies and I enjoy it very much. Gardening is the thing for me!” said Seth Roberts. He’s looking forward attending a veterinary medicine summer program.
