The N.C. Cooperative Extension-McDowell County Center “Keep McDowell Beautiful” program will facilitate the planning meeting for the Tabernacle Community Garden in 2025. Volunteers are needed to provide input on what they'd like to see growing. As in years past, youth volunteers from Project Challenge and Camp FUGE will be working in the garden, but additional help from our neighbors is needed now more than ever.
Where: N.C. Cooperative Extension Conference Room, 2nd floor McDowell County Public Service Building 60 E. Court St. Marion, NC
When: Thursday, February 6th beginning at 10am
Nestled in East Marion, at the corner of Clark and Baldwin, the Tabernacle Community Garden will celebrate the beginning of its 8th year in April of 2025. The Tabernacle Community Garden is more than just fresh fruits and vegetables for the food insecure, it's building relationships, building bridges, and building hope.
The Tabernacle Community Garden is helping to fight food insecurity in Marion. This was the original idea for the garden, but it became much more. The Tabernacle Community Garden has created a sense of community. Neighbors are working together, getting to know one another, caring for each other, building relationships, and creating a more unified community. Volunteering in the garden will help us continue this dream of fighting food insecurity in Marion.
If you can't make it, but still want to be involved email Matt_Burneisen@ncsu.edu or call (828) 652-8104.
