Gardens for Good

Earth Day at McCue Garden Center

Come learn about how you can help alleviate food insecurity in your neighborhood while repotting and take home a tomato plant.

Be part of a network of gardeners who grow vegetables in your yard or help others grow in their yards. Then we'll collect and donate what we grow to the Council of Social Concern and the En Ka Food Pantry. If you can't garden you can still contribute by sharing some of your lawn to turn into a garden.
