The Rooted in Love Vegetable Garden exists for the purpose of growing produce for the Atlantic City Rescue Mission and Adelaids Place in Atlantic City. Volunteer gardeners are OHPC members and/or friends who plant, maintain, and deliver the produce to designated sites.
Here's How It Works: Weekly emails are sent to volunteers indicating what garden work is needed during that week. If you are able and available, simple reply to the email that you can help. No reply needed if it’s not the job for you. Here are some of the things volunteers can help with: •placing soil and compost in the raised beds•assisting with composting•growing seeds from home•planting • watering •weeding •harvesting•delivering the produce to the distribution sites
NOTE: Two of the 12 raised beds are chair height to assist with planting and weeding.
The garden is located behind our building just off the back of our parking lot, and is enclosed by a fence.
