Biddeford Community Gardens is excited to be partnering with Youth Full Maine this year to raise money for a 30’x48’ Rimol Nor’easter Greenhouse which will be built near our Rotary Park Community Garden. The greenhouse will be used for starting seedlings in the spring, growing winter greens year round for our three local food service organizations: Youth Full Maine, Biddeford Food Pantry, and Bon Appetit Community Meal Program, and providing a classroom setting for horticulture programming for our local schools. The anticipated budget for the greenhouse, installation, and sitework will be $40,000.
Help Biddeford Community Gardens continue to grow and thrive year round with the addition of a greenhouse! Payment options: Check made payable to Heart of Biddeford (our fiscal sponsor) with a notation for Biddeford Community Gardens. Or donate here through Go Fund Me.
Thank you! – The BCG Garden Team
Patriot Subaru associates had a nice visit out to the @Biddeford Community Gardens – specifically the Rotary Park location, where we were able to present their team with a donation of $1550 earned from our June “12 Weeks of Giving” program. The BCG has blossomed into 4 community gardens, with 130 raised beds, that are tended to by local volunteers. The food grown is shared, with the majority going to local charitable groups such as the Biddeford Food Pantry, Bon Appetit Meal Program and Youth Full Maine. Excellent! After a humble start in 2012 with 6 beds, it grew into a program that would be officially sponsored by the “Heart of Biddeford”501c3 organization, with additional assistance provided by the City Of Biddeford Public Works and the Biddeford- Saco Rotary. Our Patriot team really enjoyed the visit and the story behind it all. Neighbors helping neighbors is what we love to support with our 12 Weeks program, and we were happy to hear that our donation will help the building of a new greenhouse. Thank you BCG for all you do!
