Put your gardening skills to use for people in need. How often is it that you can enjoy a favourite hobby and help others in your community at the same time?
The Plant A Row, Grow A Row Project is a fun way to do both. It was initially started in Winnipeg in 1986 and came to Alberta in the 90’s. We invite local gardeners to grow an extra row of vegetables, or earmark fruit and vegetables for donation to your local food bank. This program is supported nationally by Food Banks Canada. Check out the Plant a Row, Grow A Row website for more information.
Root vegetables are best; however, any produce items that can be easily handled and stored, such as cabbage, carrots, peas, beans, tomatoes, radishes, parsnips, sweet peppers, summer squash, and pears are welcome.
Due to the fragile nature of fruits and vegetables, donations are asked to be dropped off directly to your local food bank. Thank you for sharing your harvest as part of the Plant A Row, Grow A Row Program.
