Gardens for Ridgewood Retirement Community

Our May activity has been planned for months and we couldn't be more excited! 

Ridgewood Active Retirement Community is fairly new to the Bennington area and the staff is working overtime to make sure the residents feel at home.  One thing they are most excited about this spring, is building a garden for the residents!  The Executive Director contacted Giving Back asking for assistance in building a raised garden for residents in wheel chairs... and of course we said YES!

So, mark your calendars for:

Saturday, May 15th at 9:00 a.m.

Ridgewood Active Retirement Community
12301 North 149th Circle in Bennington
(Located on the North side of Bennington at Hwy 36 & 149th Street)

They have been fortunate enough to get all of the supplies, plants and seeds donated except for compost.  If you would like to make a "compost donation", please let us know!

Since the gardens are new to the Community, supplies are limited.  If you have some of the following items at home, you may want to bring them:

Cordless Screwdriver
Hammer
Shovel
Hoe
Work Gloves
Level
Chalk Line
Tape Measure
Skill Saw
Saw Horses

If you are able to attend our May activity, please email emily.andres@gmail.com or karla_bates@hotmail.com.

Everyone has a reason for Giving Back, what's yours?
