Sow an Urban Garden
POUR, Inc., partnered with HandsOn Northeast Georgia for the 2010 MLK Day of Service. As one of our main focus areas; urban gardens for low-income seniors, this event provided local volunteers with an opPOURtunity to help build and install individual raised beds for the Garden Club members at Denney Towers in Athens, Georgia.
Lowe's in East Athens was not only one of the event sponsors providing the supplies needed to created the gardens, but also sent 15 of their employees to volunteer their time that day to get the work done. Additionally, Lowe's supplied the mini-greenhouses to get the seeds started for the gardens. A second set of volunteers met on March 6th for a grounds clean up day at Denney Towers and to collect the seeds and greenhouses. They are currently in the process of sowing the seeds at home and will meet again for a planting day on April 17th.
Thank you so much to our sponsors, volunteers and donors who make these events happen. For more information visit: www.pourathens.org or email: volunteer@pourathens.org or donations@pourathens.org
