Home Depot Update
Posted by Lifewerks, Inc. in Giving Garden, Uncategorized, Volunteering on May 9, 2012
Materials for our raised bed garden build have been delayed. The new date for our build is May 17th. Antique gates with new hinges have been picked up and will be wire-brushed and ready to hang. Donated heirloom tomatoes, peppers and eggplants have been set aside and are waiting to be put to bed. Two boxes of seeds are ready to plant. Volunteers have volunteered! More are always welcome!
Home Depot to build and install new raised beds
Posted by Lifewerks, Inc. in Giving Garden on April 29, 2012
Within the next 2-3 weeks employees-volunteers from area Home Depots will converge on our new Giving Garden to build and install a total of 14 raised beds, fill them with soil and possibly put in plants as well. They will also install the posts for the antique wrought garden gate donated earlier. We can’t wait to see the finished garden!

Giving Garden News

We are in discussion with a major home center chain regarding an employee volunteer day this spring when they will come to help us build out our Giving Garden. If we are able to do as much as we hope, we’ll be in need of volunteer gardeners for this season to help us with all the planting, weeding and harvesting. We’ll be growing vegetables, flowers and bedding plants to enrich the lives of our food pantry clients.
