YOU are an integral part of an exciting movement that has been gaining momentum in and around Atlantic County.
We would like to invite you to join with other partners and participants on Wednesday, June 8 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the ACUA’s Recycling Center at 6700 Delilah Road.
You are contributing to the growth and success of Urban, Community and School Gardens in our area and in doing so, you are helping to promote the myriad benefits gardening offers; introducing fresh, affordable produce to encourage healthy eating and good nutrition, hands on environmental education, community building, improved health and exercise, stress reduction, a creative outlet, and a link to nature, among many others..
While the benefits of gardening clear, even the most experienced gardeners face challenges. Planning, planting, insects, weeds, weather, watering, soils, site selection, tools, resources, manpower – there’s a lot to know and a lot of variables influencing the success of your project!
Knowing that you are not alone and what resources are available is essential. Please join us to connect and support each other by sharing information with others in the area to strengthen and grow this amazing community of gardeners, educators, advocates, activists and citizen stewards.
Please respond to let us know if you can attend, and email or call with any questions or concerns. This meeting is open to all interested parties, so please share this invitation!
Thanks – hope to see you on Wednesday, June 8!
