Plant a Row for the Hungry is an international project, (https://gardencomm.org/PAR) that encourages gardeners to share their extra produce with needy folks in their community.
What if you, or someone you know, would like to help, but don’t have a place to garden? The Wakamatsu Farm, which is managed by the American River Conservancy, has a Giving Garden. All the produce grown
is given to various food programs throughout our community. Volunteers are welcome to help in the garden. Contact Dillon at 530-621-1224 or email [email protected] to sign up for one of their work days,
which are scheduled several times each month.
If you have questions about our local PAR project please contact Robin Stanley at [email protected] or 530-644-1631. This flyer can be found on the Master Gardener website at http://ucanr.edu/sites/EDC_Master_Gardeners/, or on the Plant a Row EDC website at http://par-edc.org/.
UCCE Master Gardeners of El Dorado County encourage your donations of fresh produce. Please contact individual programs before delivery to verify their needs and the current
days and times for donations. For more information and guidelines on donations, check out the El Dorado County Plant a Row for the Hungry website (www.par-edc.org).
