Time to GROW!

April 10, 2013

Spring is here and the excitement of gardening is being felt by the members of the GROW! community garden volunteers. For those who like to garden or who want to try their hand at gardening in order to raise wonderful organic vegetables, the community garden offers that opportunity.

 

Small plots or larger plots are available at the Buchanan Street garden and can be leased by contacting Jennifer at (208) 267-3235. The group also offers scholarships for those who may need assistance.

 

GROW! wants to share the enjoyment of gardening and harvesting with members of the community.

 

Preparing the garden for the season and doing the maintenance on structures calls for two work days, April 27 and May 4 starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers can help out on either of those days.

 

The group maintains a Northside Garden for growing food that is donated to the Community Action Food Bank and other needy groups. In the fall a pumpkin patch is open for families to search out and select choice pumpkins.

 

Operating and managing the two gardens is possible through the support of local community businesses and the work of volunteers. And volunteers are needed!
