A raised bed made from treated lumber
Pictured above is a raised bed made from treated lumber. We're thinking about putting a couple of these--well, maybe a few--on the concrete pad adjacent to the garden. The reasons for doing this are many. First, with care and attention, it will make our church yard even prettier and more interesting to the, believe it or not, many visitors our garden gets. Second, they use space that is neglected and helps our efforts become even more productive. Third, raised beds are more accessible to older members and to children and make gardening much easier for them. Fourth, raised beds conserve soil, water, and produce robust and healthy plants.
But we need donations of treated lumber to construct these beds--and donations of soil, composted manure, and straw. If you can help--that can also be called "an opportunity"--we will be grateful! Please consider a donation of some of these necessary materials.
Raised beds can also be made out of concrete block
We can also make raised beds out of concrete and--we would love to have some donated containers (really big pots!). If you have some unused containers suitable for vegetable plants please consider donating them to your Community Garden. As always, we'll provide you with a contribution letter for tax purposes.
Thank you SO MUCH for your generosity. We are grateful to our church family for making the garden available, and for everything you do. Amen!
