Pantry Garden Harvest

September 8, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Pantry Garden Planting

Established in 2007, the Pantry Garden is made up of 50 raised vegetable beds, ten herb beds, four apple trees, one fig tree, raspberry bushes, and several barrel planters. The program takes an unused, marginal piece of urban land and turns it into a rich, sustainable land use opportunity that benefits local residents and the county as well. As a member of the Northern Illinois Food Bank program, it produces approximately 5,000 pounds of fresh produce a year.

That produce is distributed to over 10,000 families annually in Kendall County who are food compromised or deprived.

The gardens are a healthy, holistic outlet for people who want to volunteer for a project that benefits those in need. No previous garden experience is required! We are seeking volunteers who like to garden, want to learn about gardening,  or enjoy working outdoors.

If you are interested in joining, email chanley@oswegolandpd.org
