Frisco Community Garden Again Benefits Food Pantry
Saturday, April 10, is the official kickoff for the 2010 Frisco Community Garden. The garden benefits the Frisco Family Services Food Pantry, which distributes the harvest to area residents.
Anyone is eligible to participate, but potential gardeners must sign a contract agreeing to meet basic standards and maintain their plots.
The garden is located at First Street Park, where the city provides land, water and approximately ¼ acre. Last year’s garden yielded about 300 pounds of produce.
Saturday’s opening event is from 10 a.m. to noon. For more information, contact Ryan Middleton, Comprehensive and Environmental Planner, at 972-292-5363.
