The Giving Garden of Carrollton

On Saturday, December 3^rd, blustery cold winds greeted us for a harvest with temps in the 40’s !!!   Bill, Sarah, and Nathan headed up the harvest of 58 lbs. packed in 22 bags for Vicki to deliver to Metrocrest Services.  Harvest helpers were Vicki, Janice, Lisa, Misty, DiAnn and Laura. Harvest was made up of many beautiful greens, broccoli, Swiss chard, peppers, cabbages, turnips, fennel, carrots, lettuce, eggplant, and several varieties of kale.  Thanks to those gardeners who harvested early and filled the shed and cooler on Friday.  

It’s hard to believe that there are only two more weeks of Saturday harvests. We have open slots for Dec. 10th or Dec. 17^th, so sign up if you need more hours.

Martha and Laura gave a garden tour to Councilman Adam Poulter and his wife, Colleen, who braved the cold weather. Adam enjoyed picking a couple of carrots and they ate them as soon as they washed them! 

The Giving Garden of Carrollton is back at NFM!  We had a fun time wrapping gifts at NFM yesterday (12/03/2022) and earned some donations from thankful shoppers!  We need a lot of work done on our fence and we are self-supporting so any and all donations are greatly appreciated! We are a non-profit community garden and have donated over 14 tons of fresh organic produce to local food pantries since 2010. We will be back today, 12/4, from 12:00 – 5:00pm so come by and see us! Here are a few pics from last year and yesterday.  We will also be there on Sat. 12/10 12:00 – 5:00pm and Friday 12/16 from 5:00 – 8:00pm.
