Lend a hand to help community garden grow in Suwanee

Gardeners know that early and proper soil preparation is key to a successful harvest. In the same way, the City of Suwanee is preparing for construction of Harvest Farm, Suwanee’s organic community garden expected to open in the spring, and it needs many pairs of helping hands to do so appropriately.

The City of Suwanee will host a community volunteer day Saturday, October 24, at the Harvest Farm at White Street Park site. Volunteers are needed from 8 a.m-5 p.m. to help get the site ready for construction, which is scheduled to begin next month. Volunteers will help dismantle part of the existing barn, remove old fencing, and clear out the creek and wooded areas. Breakfast and lunch will be served.

Volunteers must sign up in advance. For additional information, contact Assistant to the City Manager Jessica Roth, 770/945-8996.
