Boys & Girls Club of Denison Victory Garden
We established a small victory garden 2 years ago in the backyard of the Boys & Girls Club. Club members planted the seeds, tended the garden and when vegetables began blooming they were very excited and were able to take home 1 or 2 pieces of the vegetables. Our problem our garden is not big enough to support the large amount of kids we serve . Nor do the parents know how to cook and serve the vegetables we send home.especially squash.
We need help in setting up a classroom for kids and parents and to increase our garden size or what to plant to produce the most produce in the least amount of space. This year we could not find a roto tiller small enough to till the area so it has gone to weeks except for one planter. We had a very dry summer last year so the soil was very hard.
