Give to the Giving Garden
Your local community garden is about to sprout! The Giving Garden of Carrollton is located near the intersection of Hebron Parkway and Old Denton Road, just south of the Krogers and behind the Aldersgate UMC.
The goals and objectives of the community garden are to provide a sustainable community garden opportunity for the citizens of Carrollton and to provide donations of produce tor local charitable organizations. In support of these goals gardeners will donate fifty (50) percent of their produce to local charitable organizations. The Giving Garden gardners will find a welcoming environment with infrastructure provided to support their gardening goals. Individual beds, 4′ x 20′ feet, are available for a $25 annual fee. Half beds are also available. Tax deductible cash contributions may be made through Keep Carrollton Beautiful.
We are in the beginning stages and need your help. If you have any of the items below you would like to donate or are a small business who would like to partner locally and can provide a professional service please contact us Willie Lane at garden@kcbadmin.org.
