The Ellwood City Community Garden is a collaborative project between the Borough of Ellwood City, the local food bank, and many community volunteers and local businesses.
The garden is composed of raised beds, each planted, tended to, and harvested by volunteers from our community.
The harvest is donated to the local food bank in a effort to increase access to fresh, nutrient-dense produce for community members in need. In addition to the garden beds, there is also a Share the Harvest drop box at the Sims Street location where community members can drop off excess produce from their own home gardens.
There are many ways to help the Ellwood City Community Garden including:
- Signing up to cultivate a small, 4×4 garden plot with responsibilities including planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting (remember, materials will be provided, and no gardening experience is required).
- Donating Supplies or money for upkeep and plants.
- Help promote the organization by following the Ellwood City Community Garden on Facebook.
If you are interested in either volunteering, donating or have questions, please contact Kelly Brack at garden@ellwoodborough.com or 724-816-5193.
