One Tomato has been created to encourage people to grow at least one tomato in their garden this year. Yup, you heard us - we're going to get excited over one tomato! Hopefully our plants will produce more than just one tomato, but we think you should celebrate the difference that one edible tomato makes.
Why just one tomato? One tomato is not expensive to grow, it's pretty easy, and it can be grown just about anywhere. You can plant a tomato in your garden, in the flower bed, in a container, a hanging basket, or even on your front lawn. If you don't like tomatoes, that's okay! You don't have to be a tomato lover to join in - the goal is to grow some vegetables, so try out any vegetable you like.
We hope organizations will join us as well! We want to motivate you as an organization to grow tomatoes and other vegetables this year. There are two easy ways to do this: you can plant them in your existing flower beds among the flowers, or you can create a beautiful community vegetable garden and donate the produce to a local community group. We've been inspired by some of the community gardens that we've seen, and it would be great to see more of them.
There is more information located through the links on the sidebars. If you have any questions, please contact us. If you want to join in, plant a tomato and let us know how it turns out!! It's a pretty wild idea, but we think it's going to be a lot of fun!
