Seedlings
The Hearts & Spades Community Garden (sponsored by the LFVC) will have seedlings for sale this spring-stay tuned for a sale in May!

Plots
A $25 donation secures you a 4' x 8' raised bed topped with rich soil, with water paid for by a generous donation from the Town of Lake City.

Learning Gardens
Our seedling sale raised money to buy learning gardens for Wee Care and Lake City Community School. These plots will be turned into living laboratories for families and students of all ages, who are invited to participate in a summer growing program that teaches biology, horticulture, and that dirt don't hurt.

Plant Trees for Henson Creek
The last bit of work to be done under Phase I of the Lake Fork River & Henson Creek Enhancement Project is to plant trees along the banks!

We will be calling volunteers as soon as the snow has melted enough for us to get planting! 

Please contact our Education & Outreach Coordinator, Stephen Norton, at s.norton@lfvc.org or 781.454.7667 if interested in volunteering!
