starting a community garden in Evergreen. We have
not been able to start this as we do not have someone

someone willing to work with the Grants Director to

• To avoid losing juices during turning, always flip your meat
or vegetables using tongs or a spatula, rather than a fork.
• Try to limit the flips. Ideally, you should flip each item
once during the grilling process.

• For great smoky flavor, soak some wood chips (hickory,
oak, or other hardwoods, but not treated lumber!) in
water for a while, then throw them onto your charcoal and
cover the grill, or if you’re using gas, put them into your
smoker box following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• To infuse grilled foods with herb essence, toss herbs
directly onto the charcoal while you’re grilling. Or, if you’re
using a gas grill, soak the herbs in water, and place them
