Bisbee's First Community Garden!
Donation protected
Update!
We have reached our initial goal of $2,000 toward the Bisbee Rotary Club's matching Grant!! But, there are things that Grant can't cover, including website expenses, porta-potties, insurance and more. Therefore, we have increased the overall goal to $3,000 to cover some of those soft expenses. Thanks for your support!
*********
Bisbee's FIRST community garden is about to come to fruition! And, we need your help!
We have secured an awesome property, through the generous donation of Coriana Eastman, local artist. On the property, we will be able to support up to 40 member plots, including space dedicated for charitable food donations, fruit trees with free access for everyone, an outdoor kitchen with free cooking classes, and maybe even some art activities.
Also on the property is a large greenhouse, all set up for an aquaponics system - we have the potential to grow protein and veggies/fruit, using only 5-10% of the water typically needed for conventional gardening.
We were lucky enough to secure a $2,000 matching grant from the Bisbee Rotary Club. To access those funds, WE (the Bisbee community, and our friends, near and far) need to raise $2,000. Every little bit helps, and we appreciate anything that you can give.
Please share this campaign with ANYONE you know who appreciates locally grown, locally accessed fresh produce for the entire community. Please support the Rotary Community Garden of Bakerville, Bisbee, AZ!
