How to help

Thanks for your interest in helping with our project!

     We are not an established non-profit or religious organization; however, we offer the public the opportunity to participate in the garden project and to attend garden events and classes free of charge. We do gratefully accept any donations offered to us. In fact many of the supplies for the garden have been donated including seeds, plants, compost, mulch, and tools. Last season, Girl Scout Troops #991 & #1001 from the Girls Scouts in the Heart of PA Council donated hand crafted stepping stones for each garden, Hershey Nursery donated 50 bags of cocoa mulch and Dig My Earth donated many truckloads of nutrient-rich compost.

     In addition, Dauphin county Parks and Recreation has for many years provided the Community Garden space along Elmerton Avenue in Harrisburg for public use. We rented four plots, each 30x30 sq. ft. and received a great selection of seeds with the rental for only $10 per plot for the entire season!

If you would like to help out by volunteering supplies, helping out in the garden or spreading the word by linking to our blog we'd love your help!  You can join us in the garden on Wednesdays from 6pm to dusk and/or Saturdays from 9am to noon (earlier in the hotter days of summer).

Here is a flyer that you can download and print to spread the word:
