The Duneland YMCA
is planning a garden of fruit, vegetables and native plant species.
Y Summer Campers
will learn to tend the garden and will share in the harvest. Native species
will enhance the garden, attract native wildlife and be replanted in local
ecosystems. Excess produce will be available for sale in a market setting.
Please consider donating some of the needed gardening supplies to help the
Summer Campers learn the art of gardening.
Supplies needed
include 30 bags of organic potting soil; two bags of compost; four packages
of crucifer seeds, four strawberry plants, four packages each of tomato,
cucumber, peppers, peas and squash seeds; four radish, beet, leaf lettuce
seed packages; six 4’x4’ pea trellises; two clotheslines for pea trellises;
two garden shovels; four hand trowels; two garden rakes; two leaf rakes; and
two compost cans.
Donations can be
dropped off at the Y Member Services Desk.
