Hale's Donate Greenhouse Space

The Barbara and Ken Hale family have generously agreed to let our Community Gardeners use their greenhouse this Spring. This opportunity will allow us to save a lot of money because we can start plants from seeds instead of buying plants as they become available from the usual sources. More importantly, we'll be able to grow a greater number of different and more interesting plants such as heirlooms and so on. And there is more good news. If you are not a Community Gardner but would like to grow plants from seeds just let us know and we'll be happy to put a flat of your seedlings in the greenhouse. We can't guarantee that they'll grow, but we'll do our best to get them back to you in plant-worthy condition.
The Greenhouse is approximately 10 feet wide and 20-22 feet long. We'll put seed trays on tables and think we can fit in about 1,000 plants to start. We'll begin sometime in February and operate through the end of May.
The Greenhouse is fully equipped and ready to go. Ken and Barbara, Thank you for Building a Community of Hope through your generous contribution!
