Rio Grande Community Garden
The Rio Grande Community Garden is located at 600 Coors NW adjacent to the Rio Grande Presbyterian Church. A new season is ready to begin the spring of 2011. Soil will be rototilled and hosed down. Agra Greenhouse will donate plants for the individual plots. Thank you for your generosity. Soil and water on a timer will be provided by the Rio Grande Presbyterian Church to each person responsible for a plot. Plots for families in the neighborhood and other Albuquerque environs are available. Responsibility for your plot includes the following: plant, weed and harvest your crop. The harvest of your crop includes: feed your family and share your surplus with the Rio Grande Food Project. Look for specific date and time to obtain information to start your garden project. Happy Gardening!
Corrales Food Pantry Project (Seed 2 Need)
The Corrales Food Pantry Project (Seed to Need) is a non-profit collaborative endeavor. Groups included in the project are Corrales property owners, Sandoval County Master Gardeners as well as local volunteer groups. Corrales property owners volunteer their land, electricity and irrigation water. Sandoval County Master Gardeners provide an irrigation system, seeds, and plants. Their garden responsibilities include weeding and harvesting the garden.
During the summer of 2010 the Sandoval County Master Gardeners planted two gardens on less than one acre located on Manierre Road in Corrales. Seed 2 Need harvested abundant crops of tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, squash, bell peppers, eggplant, chili, carrots, onions, melons, swiss chard, and bok choy. Three food pantries reaped the benefits of the beautiful harvest. The pantries included: Rio Grande Food Project (Albuquerque), St. Felix Pantry (Rio Rancho), and Storehouse West (Rio Rancho). It is with sincere appreciation that your community provided such and abundant harvest of fresh produce to our food pantries. May your excellent community support provide continued success.
