Saturday, April 21:
April is BIG Garden month!


Help support the BIG Garden project as we enter our second year of service to the community. In 2006 our five sites produced over 3000 pounds of food, of which about 1/3 was donated to area food pantries. We recorded over 43,000 individual volunteer visits to the gardens, including over 240 youth volunteers.

We have big plans for expansion in 2007, including the addition of at least ten new sites. We have work to do to prepare for the growing season, including preparing the ground and building beds at our new sites and getting our second-year sites ready for our gardeners. Your help makes all the difference in reaching our goals – volunteers and donors are what make this project run.

New this year: the official BIG Garden website, located at www.gardenbig.org. As the season goes on, more and more information can be found here, including garden work schedules, class times, and special event information.

We hope you will consider volunteering at the gardens, either by bringing a VIM team, or scheduling a regular time to come help out. To find out more contact Lori Young at 598-2887 or email at: loriann.young@gmail.com
