Garden Wishlist

Do you  have items to donate? Here's what we currently are hoping to get!

• Donate your unused garden tools and supplies! Here is our current wish list:

  • Rakes - metal garden rake and a plastic leaf rake

  • Flat shovel

  • Pitch fork for compost pile

  • Medium sized tarps - looking for 2 to cover the compost piles

  • Flat baskets for collecting harvests

  • Salad spinners and colanders - to allow us to easily wash our harvest before tasting!

  • Soil - either bagged or the come-and-get- it kind! 

  • Leaves - as we transition to fall, we'd be happy to take bags of leaves to enrich our compost, preferably already shredded!

  • 4 ft U posts 

  • Scrap wood and acrylic paint for garden signs

  • Seeds! Clearly labeled please.
