HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 2, 2015) - On November 4, 2015, Halifax Mayor Mike Savage will be on hand with representatives from Hope Blooms and Bullfrog Power for the ribbon cutting and launch of the Hope Blooms greenhouse solar project.
Hope Blooms is a youth-driven social enterprise that empowers youth by creating and selling salad dressings from the produce they grow. Located in Halifax, Hope Blooms has built a greenhouse with support from Arlene Dickinson (Dragon's Den) to grow fresh, local herbs year-round so they can be sold at the Halifax Seaport Market. Bullfrog Power has funded the solar and battery system that allows the greenhouse to be self-sufficient throughout the year.
Media are invited for a community BBQ, remarks and interview and photo opportunities with Mayor Mike Savage, Holly Bond, National Sales Director, Bullfrog Power, as well as Hope Blooms founder Jessie Jollymore and their youth leaders.
