MLK Day of Service: Monday, January 18th

Next Monday many of us will have an opportunity to work for the good of our communities in honor of the life and sacrifice of Dr. King. Below are two garden-oriented chances to help:

  • Transylvania Community Garden – making tomato cages and bean trellises for local community gardens. Help us make tomato cages and bean trellises for local community gardens! 1-4 pm on Monday, January 18 Limit of 6 youth, ages 10 and older. Youth can assist, provided there is one or more adult leader per 6 youth. Youth need to have parents or leader actively assisting with the project. Youth leader or parent assumes liability and responsibility for youth.
    Please bring a screw driver to assist with this project. Contact: Danny Woolums, (859) 233-8182


  • Herbie Conversion – Volunteers will convert ‘Herbies’ into compost bins for local community gardens. Volunteers should feel comfortable using a power drill. Since we are providing a limited number of drills, it would be helpful for volunteers to bring one from home if able. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Hosted at Transylvania University’s William T. Young Campus Center, 300 North Broadway.  Contact: Lauren Bennett (859) 266-1572
