Family Garden Needs!

2/26/2024

 
The Longfellow Family Garden is getting ready to plant a beautiful, pollinator-friendly, native garden next to the raised garden beds. We need your help! Please email [email protected] if you have any of the following that you are able to donate or lend to us: 
  • low, garden fencing to protect the baby plants and workspace (about 40')
  • Edging - approximately 85' (This type of edging or similar) Note: if we eliminate the spiral path we can reduce this to 70'
  • Tampers 
  • Roto-Tillers to de-compact soil
  • "Home Depot"-style 5-gallon buckets
  • Know-how to install compacted gravel pathway
  • Physical labor to install gravel and till
  • Someone with experience installing Little Libraries
For our edible garden beds we are also looking for:
  • loppers/pruning shears
  • trellis/plant supports
  • an arching trellis we can place between two beds
  • seed starting soil 
  • buckets to mix soil
  • grow lights
  • timers
  • seed starting pots and trays
  • an artist with experience painting murals
  • picnic bench
