IT’S WORK BEE SEASON!!!
We are working very hard to get the gardens in shape and get all of our plants in the ground for a great growing season! Would you come help?
We have been hosting Garden Work Bees at Project GROW’s Largest Community Garden located at 100 Lincoln St. ext Waverly, NY (next to Sutryk & Son).  We will be continuing to weed, plant, and mulch in the gardens throughout the month of June.  There is also some fence mending to do.  Stay posted for upcoming Work Bees!
We offer a share of the harvest for work hours in our gardens and are more than happy to sign off on community service hours for a job well done.
Come meet some really great folks and learn more about Project GROW and opportunities for the season!

 

We will also have our brand new aprons available for purchase…..

Our mission is the seed of our intent,  “to cultivate opportunity, education, and inspiration in our community to value, access, and grow healthy food.”

We continue to:

  • Build, expand, and improve our community teaching gardens
  • Educate the youth of our region by teaching them how to grow their own food, maintain healthy gardens, and prepare their own snacks and meals!
  • Grow healthy food to share with everyone in our community, including local pantries and soup kitchens, doing our very best to make sure that we are all fed (especially those who are food insecure)

Volunteer

We are always recruiting garden volunteers during our growing season.  Volunteers needed for watering, mowing, fence mending, weeding, harvesting and local pantry delivery July-October.  All hands on deck again in mid-October when we put the “beds to bed” for the winter again.  That job involves a lot of shoveling leaf mulch onto the beds and planting garlic for next Spring!

We are always looking for volunteers to lead seasonal food preservation workshops or teach classes on interesting subjects related to gardening and nutrition throughout the year.

Interested in volunteering or would like to be added to our mailing list?
