Adopt-A-Garden Spot

Have you noticed the green growing near the playground and near the sidewalk in the grassy area behind the library tunnel. We've been growing sugar snap peas, various greens including spinach, zucchini, and more. The EAST class would love for individuals, groups, and classes to adopt-a-garden spot. The spot could be an entire bed or even half a bed that the sponsor would plant, maintain, and harvest (as applicable). EAST students would create a lovely marker with the donor's name or designated name. Also, we are in immediate need of lumber for additional beds to spread out items and a support system for the tomatoes planted by the city as part of the Little Rock Serves: Love Your School Project. We would love to receive donations of items or select volunteer time in which the EAST Classroom can adopt-a-bed in the honor of the volunteer/donor's choice.

Here is a detailed list of items recommended by our partner Mrs. Warren, Master Gardener:

lumber
brackets
screws
irrigation timer
micro tubing
water hoses
splitter
fittings
field trip
fresh produce
wagon
tool shed
tools
plants
seeds
baskets
garden guide
cypress mulch
