Grow with IGIC
Come grow with us at our community garden! Last year we were able to obtain a community plot in Chelmsford. The purpose of the garden is to give back to our patients. We are hoping for a full and vibrant pick this year! We will be planting Herbs, Spices, Fruits, and Veggies. This year kicks off on Saturday, June 3rd at 10:30AM. Everyone is welcome - bright your friends, kids and significant others. If you have your own gardening tools, please bring them — remember the gloves!
If you wish to bring something to plant, we encourage you. With this garden, we want our patients to be able to take full advantage of not only the produce, but also the education. This way, we can teach each of you how to grow your own garden if you choose.
The IGIC Community Garden is located at 20 Wotton St, N Chelmsford, MA 01863 (behind Tequilas, next to the ball field).
Happy Planting!
