Saturday July 11th

Don't forget this Saturday at 8 a.m. kicks off our first day at the garden. We will be out in full force laying out all the plots. If you are available to help out we would greatly appreciate it, many hands make small work. It will also be a great time to meet some of your future neighbors and scope out where you are going to be gardening.

We will have supplies on hand but if you have any of the following laying around it might be useful.

tape measure
survey flags or stakes
string or twine
hammer
survey paint

I will have applications, and copies of the garden rules for everyone to fill out. Please come and introduce yourself.

Sasha
Director, Wrigley Garden

1950 and 1960 Henderson Avenue, Long Beach CA

The Wrigley Community Garden is located at 1950 and 1960 Henderson Ave. This two year project will help in the transformation of Henderson Avenue. We will teach these and other residents basic gardening skills that can be applied to grow their own food here in the demonstration garden and later on in their own homes.

Our mission is to aid in the continued transformation of the Henderson Avenue neighborhood. Our vision is to create a positive, unifying element to a block previously blighted with drug trafficking.
