2019 ANNUAL APPEAL: BELIEVE
The holidays are a time for believing – we see the word repeated on greeting cards, and blinking signs, sung as lyrics, and as the theme of beloved holiday tales. A one-word essay. BELIEVE. A favorite of mine, at the holidays, and throughout every season at the gardens.
We thank you for BELIEVING, caring, investing and being involved in our community gardens. Your patronage and your generosity make it possible for our gardens to impact, inspire, and succeed. As we look forward to 2020 we humbly ask that you consider a year-end gift, in any amount to our gardens, to help ensure our sustainable future and success. We BELIEVE in the value of our service, and we know you do too!
