As promised on our kickstarter.com fundraising site, those who donated $59 and up have the privilege of having a plant in our traveling garden named after them.  We are grateful for your donations and support, and we hope these plants do you justice!

Tess Nelson = Lavender

A sweet and complex herb, this thriving lavender plant brings a refreshing scent to our bus.

Dan Nelson = Sage

A little-used herb, perhaps an acquired taste, sage can bring a wonderful aspect to pasta and meat dishes, and if burned, has clarifying properties and an amazing aroma.

Bill Bennett = Hot Pepper

This spicy little pepper adds some vital heat to our dishes- but you have to be careful with it!

Elizabeth Schoyer = Cherry tomato

These little beauties are thriving on the rooftop garden and just starting to ripen.

Ken Bauman = Oregano

This perennial Italian herb provides vital flavor for sauces, breads, and crusts.

Alex Arango = eggplant

This beautifully-hued fruit is versatile and full of great vitamins- puree it into a dip with tomatoes and onions, cover it with cheese and bake it, or sautee it with pine nuts and olive oil.  Mmm.

Brie = Malabar spinach

A tropical vine, this green is a source of nutrients late into the summer:  it doesn’t bolt like spring lettuces and spinach does.

Will Russel = Rosemary

A perennial herb that can grow to great proportions, rosemary is pretty much great with everything, but especially in breads, meats, and, used minimally, can add complexity to  sweet desserts.

Stefin Pasternak = Basil

Arguably our most prolific crop, the basil is thriving on the rooftop garden, and trying to flower every time we climb up!

Nancy Lee Evans = Marigold

This flowering plant is vital to attracting pollinators to our rooftop garden, and its cheery golden blooms are a joy to behold.

Julia = Rainbow Chard

This delectable and nutritious green provides us with fresh salads, and its dark-red veins provide a lovely contrasting color in the rooftop garden.
