2010 Community Garden

by Nancy & Nora on March 21, 2010

Love to garden, you say?
Want to find some way to help others?
Don’t have time to do it all?
Look no more.

GLOBAL HOPE HAS THE SOLUTION

Spring fever has taken over as Global Hope sets plans into motion for the 2010 Community Garden – our second year growing and providing produce for local food pantries! We are looking for someone who likes to get their hands dirty – maybe enjoys a little conversation with plants.  You know who you are…

But there’s more.  Envision this:  a bountiful field abuzz with chatter as this plant-lovin’ gardener organizes and manages a rotating schedule of planting, watering and harvesting performed by many other eager volunteers.  Are you the volunteer leader for this year’s Community Garden project for Global Hope?

Which brings us to point #2.  We are looking for “Many Other Eager Volunteers” who will plant, water and harvest intermittently throughout the growing season (May-August).  Once – or weekly… whichever works will be greatly appreciated.  All our harvests will be donated.

What a wonderful idea! I am so impressed with the teamwork and passion you all have for helping those less fortunate.
