Growing Gardens: Garden Build Day (Saturday 10/8 or 10/15)
Posted by hannah.cherry
Join a Garden Build Day (FALL 2016)
Every fall we build gardens for families with limited resources enrolled in our Home Gardens Program. Having a garden in ones’s backyard is a power step towards increasing fresh food access and addressing hunger in Oregon.
Our garden builds are a family friendly volunteer experience and we build rain or shine! You can choose from two days: Saturday, October 8th or 15th. Volunteers who sign up stay with us from 10am-4pm.
Your involvement strengthens our local community!
RSVP by e-mailing your name & preferred date: cristy@growing-gardens.org

About the Organization
Growing Gardens helps people grow their own food. We organize hundreds of volunteers to build organic, raised bed vegetable gardens in backyards, front yards, side yards and even on balconies. We support low income households for three years with seeds, plants, classes, mentors and more. Our Youth Grow after school garden clubs grow the next generation of veggie eaters and growers! Through Learn & Grow workshops and work parties, we teach gardeners all about growing, preparing and preserving healthful food while respecting the health of the environment.
We plant seeds for good food and healthy people by making sure low income people have the resources they need to grow organic vegetables at home. Through this work, community members meet over the backyard garden, through volunteering, by attending classes, and through sharing extra produce.
