NCO’s Garden Project is raising beds and funds — help grow the future of local food

MENDOCINO CO., 4/5/18 — If you’ve ever seen a community garden around Mendocino County, whether it’s in the backyard of a school, senior center, or part of a local park, chances are it’s part of North Coast Opportunities’ Gardens Project, which manages 48 different community and school gardens around Mendocino and Lake Counties.

Right now, the grant funding that has supported the Gardens Project is running out in a couple months, and so the group needs community support to keep building gardens until they are able to secure more funding. This month, the Gardens Project is holding a “Growing our Future” crowdfunding campaign to raise $17,000, and organizing events and work days at different gardens around the county, so there are plenty of ways to get involved.
