Make a difference in your neighborhood and community! WRI will be participating in this year’s Make a Difference Day. We will be working in the E. Lorene Young Community Garden for this year’s project.

We will work together to dismantle and replace old planter boxes and replace them with new cedar ones built onsite. We completed half of the boxes last year and need your help to finish the rest of the garden. These new boxes will serve community members for the next decade of fruit, vegetable, herb, and flower growing.

We will also be making new accessible garden beds for those who cannot safely or adequately navigate the current layout. We’ll be adding extra space between garden beds as we rebuild them. These extra inches will allow wheelchair users to enjoy the wonders of community gardening. We are committed to making the WRI campus welcoming and accessible to all. We need your help in taking a step towards this goal!

This is a family friendly volunteer event! WRI will have the materials and hand tools available for the work.

Join us on Saturday, October 26th at WRI if you’d like to participate! Please let us know you’re coming.

Feel free to park at Wenatchee River Institute (for free). We can meet there and walk together over to the E. Lorene Young Community Garden (corner of 12th St and Commercial St).
