Hands For Tyler - Pendleton Community Garden

Latest Video About The Pendleton Library Community Garden

Volunteer to Help Grow Food To Feed A Community

Pendleton, Indiana May 22, 2009 – It is gardening time at the Pendleton Community Garden on Water Street in Pendleton, Indiana. The majority of the planting and seeding have been completed in the area that is going to be used as a donation to local food banks yet to be selected.

There are a couple of really neat things in the garden area you need to stop by a see. One is Miss Peggy’s Garden. This is a project she has with her kids at the Pendleton Community Library. These kids have a real smorgasbord of different plants here.

Another neat concept in the Pendleton Community Garden area is what is called a “Square Foot Garden Project”. This is a very neat concept and is used in some of the larger cities or by people who have limited gardening space. It can also be used on a patio to grow vegetables and flowers.

It has been proven that one of the beneficial projects, heath wise, or hobby anyone can undertake is gardening. On top of that gardening helps to fill your table with some of the safest food that you will find anywhere. See the WebMD article from Oct. 30, 2000 to see how gardening can keep you young (article).

On top of that, with the cost of food at the grocery today there is an enormous saving to the family budget every time you use things from your garden on the table.

What is needed now more than anything is a few more hands in the garden. So with that we are going to call this paragraph, “Hands for Tyler”.  If you have a little spare time or maybe just what to find a great escape, stop by the library and talk to Tyler about volunteering in this wonderful project they have underway.
