We recently made a donation of redwood lumber cut to size, to help build 8 garden beds for The Gardens Project, a wonderful nonprofit serving Mendocino and Lake county. These garden beds will be used to develop a garden supporting food security to farmworkers and their families living in the Brush Meadows apartments in Ukiah, CA.

The Gardens Project of North Coast Opportunities seeks to relieve hunger and inadequate nutrition throughout Mendocino and Lake Counties by creating access to community-based food production and local, nutritious food. We work with local government and private landowners to lease underutilized land around low-income neighborhoods for the creation of new community gardens.
