How Can I Be Involved?

In order to make the garden a reality, we will need as much help as we can get. Our hope is to do this entirely on donated goods and services as well as rescuing and recycling materials offered free through Craigslist and Freecycle or from our neighborhood. Below is a list of ways that you can help us make this dream a reality.

Take Action

·                     Help us build the garden (work dates to be announced)

·                     Visit us when you see us working and follow us here on the blog

Donate

·                     Newspaper and Cardboard (non-glossy newsprint only, please)

·                     Bricks, rocks, or untreated lumber (heat treated is okay, just not chemically treated)

·                     Wood chips, compost, soil

·                     Tomato cages, twine, wooden or bamboo stakes

·                     Seeds, flower or vegetable starts

Lend

·                     Shovels

·                     Gloves

·                     Wheelbarrows

·                     Buckets

·                     A Helping Hand!

Spread the Word

·                     Talk to neighbors about the garden

·                     Ask around and see if you know anyone who can help us get the materials we need for FREE
