Community Garden
A Little History
In March 2023 UCCVF we started our Community Garden. We decided that almost all (99%) of our produce would be donated to the Great Valley Food Cupboard. Our volunteers take turns weekly to care for all of the beds in the garden.
In our first growing season our garden grew from a lawn to just under 100 sq. ft. of raised garden beds. From our tiny garden we donated over 200 lbs. of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, kale, radishes, basil, and beans for 15 weeks during the summer of 2023.
Our 1st Seed Swap
In February 2024 we had our first ever seed swap! What a lot of fun meeting other gardeners in our area. Lots of seeds were swapped. We had baked goods and beverages and a cafe so you could sit, relax, and tell tall garden tales.
Did you plant you seeds, yet? Here are some photos of our tomatoes loving their hydroponic growing stations.
Get Ready to Garden 2024
Get ready for the 2024 growing season! We have plans to add 3 new garden beds so we can donate even more to the Great Valley Food Cupboard.
The weather has been crazy… The last chance of frost here is April 15 but we think we aren’t going to start planting outdoors until after Mother’s Day. Gotta give mom’s their day!
