"Sowing the Seeds of Harmony through Nature"
About this activity:
In conjunction with the library and the Allentown West Rotary Club, PGC members volunteer to maintain six raised garden beds as a program to inspire gardening in the community. The produce will be donated to area food pantries or used for classes.
Rotarians and Parkland Garden Club members Gail Micca and Helen Papathanasiou, along with PGC President Claire Kukielka and Rotarian Diana Dunn helped local CSA Farmer Reuben DeMaster at Willow Haven Farm in New Tripoli, PA on March 23rd. They helped transplant 600 peppers and tomatoes. Four thousand seeds were also planted. Farmer Reuben works with Northwestern Interact as they volunteer on the farm. Willow Haven donates plants to West Allentown Rotary Club’s Green Thumbs Garden Project. The farm also donates to local pantries when they have excess.
