The new beds will be located in the same place, will be the same size as the existing ones and will provide stable seating at the bed edge. We are hoping to have the funds required to start the project in November. The City has agreed to partner with us in this endeavor and we hope you will too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support at any level is welcome: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/southsideplacecommunitygarden.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/bed-renewal-mailer-pg-1_Page_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1167\" width=\"850\" height=\"1400\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dirt Angel: $50.00 will help fill up our beds<\/li><li>Seed Champion: $100 will provide seeds for a year<\/li><li>Garden Magician: Contributions from $100 -$3000 will enable the garden to continue to be a magical place. <\/li><li>Also available are Naming Rights for the<br>beds.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of the Community Garden depends on the generous support of its volunteers and family sponsors.

The garden boasts several hundred<br>volunteers who support the garden in a variety of ways. The<br>garden is the site for a wide variety of gatherings, including<br>school field trips, family dinners, happy hours, and concerts.
