These new boxes will serve community members for the next decade of fruit, vegetable, herb, and flower growing.
We will also be making new accessible garden beds for those who cannot safely or adequately navigate the current layout. We’ll be adding extra space between garden beds as we rebuild them. These extra inches will allow wheelchair users to enjoy the wonders of community gardening. We are committed to making the WRI campus welcoming and accessible to all. We need your help in taking a step towards this goal!
This is a family friendly volunteer event! WRI will have the materials and hand tools available for the work.
Join us on Saturday, October 26th at WRI if you’d like to participate! Please let us know you’re coming by clicking the red “RSVP Here” button above.
