Watch us as we make plans for a Parkdale Community Garden! The grant-funded project, currently in planning, will allow students to participate in a fun way to learn the science of agriculture and lifelong healthy eating skills. The garden is planned to be:
organic
wheelchair accessible
fenced, with raised beds
irrigated
Organizers plan to donate 10% of the crop yield to the local food pantry, and hope to break ground for the 400 square-foot garden in the spring of 2010.
