In the last Fig Boss newsletter, I added details for a LSU Tiger fig tree giveaway:
As a thank you for being a newsletter subscriber, I'm giving away 5 LSU Tiger fig trees. LSU Tiger is a well-adapted variety that will perform well just about anywhere. This winter, it proved to be among the hardiest of fig trees. With a donation of $5, you will be entered into the raffle.
After shipping expenses, half of the remainder of the donations will go to the Philadelphia Orchard Project (POP): https://www.phillyorchards.org/
The other half will go to the Fair Amount Food Forest: https://www.fairamountfoodforest.org/
The Philadelphia Orchard Project is a nonprofit organization that plants and supports community orchards in the city of Philadelphia. They teach and inspire the local community about growing their own food.
Some of you may remember that I gave a talk at the Fair Amount Food Forest in 2023. You can read about my talk here: https://www.figboss.com/post/the-fig-boss-2023-year-in-review
Fair Amount Food Forest's mission is, through collective and connective efforts, to foster a community-based, publicly-accessible, and educational food forest garden on public land.
Fair Amount Food Forest's vision is to serve as a multi-faceted community learning center and gathering space to explore and steward healthy relationships with each other and the environment through growing fresh, healthy food.
Thank you to everyone who participated. We had 40 donations for a total of ~$200 raised. I asked AI to randomly select 5 winners. If you won, please contact me so I can send you your new LSU Tiger fig tree!
