Winter Sowing for the Food Bank 🌱

This winter, we’re coming together to support the Rockland Community Garden’s donation garden, which provides fresh produce for the local Food Bank.

By participating, children will not only learn about sustainable gardening but also play an active role in growing food for those in need.

What is Winter Sowing?

Winter Sowing is an innovative gardening method where we plant seeds outdoors during the winter months using repurposed plastic containers as mini greenhouses. This process allows seeds to germinate naturally, making it a perfect way to grow strong seedlings—without the need for indoor space or heat lamps.

Who Can Join?

This program is designed for children ages 4–12, offering a hands-on experience in gardening, sustainability, and community giving. It’s a great opportunity to connect with nature while helping to grow food for families in need.

📅 Date: February 22nd

Why It Matters?

Every seed we plant will help grow fresh produce for the Food Bank, ensuring that families in our community have access to healthy, homegrown food.
