What a wonderful idea, every station and FedEx location accross the world should take this challenge on for their community. I love the education children gain, and the vegetables for the needy is a plus. Lets get it going accross the country and world.

The Collierville Victory

Submitted by Wayne Carter on 11/23/09 - 5:19 pm
The Collierville Victory Garden is a good model for any group wishing to help needy individuals in a community, by providing fresh vegetables. I thought the video was nicely done, and I like that the fact the gardeners are educating children in the process. Carl Wayne and other master gardeners and volunteers from FEDEX are to be commended.

Well, this is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm a gardener so I can really relate. Congratulations to all involved for such a wonderful mission. I've always thought that if we used vacant land along our roadways to plant crops and flowers we would have no hunger in America and a more beautiful place to live.

What a worthy cause that Carl and Jimmy and others serve! It is so great to see this video via FedEx home page news. Thank you. You've brought this into our minds and shown us one more way in which FedEx personnel serve our communities and helped Carl and Jimmy spread the word.
