Vegetable Garden at RESTORE House
The Garden Club is partnering with the Man in Overalls to help a nonprofit called RESTORE (Rebuilding Ex-offenders Successfully Through Opportunities, Rehabilitation, and Education). RESTORE built an adorable house at 1024 Hood Avenue with room to house six women recently released from prison and a house manager. The Garden Club wants to help them install a vegetable garden to provide the women an investment in the home and a healthy activity.
You can donate here to help fund this work.
We are also looking for volunteers to help install raised beds and plant the vegetables on an upcoming Saturday in October. If you have access to materials, such as plants, seeds, mulch, gravel, or fence materials, we’d love to hear from you.
