Our 2024 Goal - Restoring the Community Garden ($4,000)
Let’s grow something beautiful together. Help us restore the heart of our community garden!
Imagine walking into a vibrant community garden filled with blooming flowers, thriving vegetables, and neighbors working together to nurture nature and friendships. This garden is more than just a patch of land – it's a sanctuary where people come together to learn, grow, and connect.
But today, our beloved garden is in need of care. Time and weather have taken their toll on the garden beds, fences, and gates that make this space possible. The raised beds, once brimming with healthy produce, are crumbling. The fences, meant to protect the garden, are worn and vulnerable. And the gates, which once welcomed so many, need repairing to continue their role as open arms to the community.
We need your help to bring the garden back to life. Every dollar you give will go directly towards:
🌱 Replacing all ~90 garden boxes with sturdy, durable garden beds to support the growth of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Boxes cost $3,000. $1,500 was contributed by Uncle Benny's Building Supplies of Loveland.
🌳 Repairing fences to keep the garden protected from critters.
🚪 Restoring the gates to ensure this cherished space is safe and welcoming.
Your support doesn’t just rebuild structures; it strengthens a community. It provides a safe, inclusive space for families, children, and elders to gather, learn, and share the joys of gardening. Every donation plants the seeds for a healthier, greener future.
Produce from HPEC also supports food security. Donations have been made to various food distribution centers for under-income families in Fort Collins and Loveland since 2009.
Together, we can make this garden a thriving hub of life again. Let’s grow something beautiful together. Donate today, and help us restore the heart of our community garden.
Thank you for planting hope and cultivating community with us!
