This Thursday, September 12th, is our harvesting project at the nonprofit Glencoe Community Garden (GCG). Rotarians should arrive at the Garden a bit before noon so we can begin promptly and finish by 1:30. The GCG is located at 380 Old Green Bay Road. It is east of and runs parallel to Green Bay Road and the Metra train tracks in Glencoe. I will have blue and yellow balloons outside the entrance to the garden.
We will eat a boxed lunch first as the Garden representatives share who the garden serves and how it is managed and what they need us to do. We will work until 1:30. If there are any volunteers interested in helping me bring the vegetation we harvest to The Ark Food Pantry in Northbrook, have them let me know that. GCG is extremely impactful to local food pantries whose patrons don't often enjoy fresh produce. Just to provide a bit more info, feel free to check out their website, glencoecommunitygarden.com.
Volunteers should dress for gardening. Particularly if there has been rain, boots would be helpful. If it does rain, we will continue to harvest unless there is lightning in the area.
Thank you for participating, and see you at the Gardens this week!
