As part of our Summer Gardening for Good Series, Kids Impact Community will have eight garden plots at Parkway Elementary School in Glendale. Families will have the opportunity to get dirty, tend and explore the garden, and harvest food to donate to our local partners at Kinship Community Food Center. Green thumbs are not required. If you have questions or need assistance during your week, we will provide that!
Activities
All summer, each family will take ONE WEEK (Monday through Sunday) to weed and tend the garden. During your family’s assigned week, we ask you to stop by at least three times to tend the garden. If there is food to harvest, we ask that families deliver the harvested foods to the Kinship Community Food Center for timely food distribution to the community. Once our participating families have registered, we will communicate details about the garden (where to find water, who to contact for help, etc).
Purpose
Take responsibility for and nurture a community garden with your family for one week (Monday through Sunday) this summer at Parkway Elementary School.
Impact
In addition to the immediate benefits of gardening with family, the Kinship Community Food Center will receive harvested crop (food and flower) donations from our garden.
