Golden Age Garden/Park Renovation

The Neighborhood Land Trust received funds to remove the wooden raised beds and replace them with new aluminum beds, a new shed and a new compost bin! Help bring much needed love and attention to our Golden Age Garden!

Why: The Golden Age Garden has been serving the community for over 10 years and families have been growing their own food since then! With these new beds, you will be removing old rotted wood, building in new defenses againts vermin and other critters who eat the veggies and herbs member grow and building new, secure aluminum raised beds. With more gardening space and height! Visually the impact will be drastic and beautiful!
