CLERMONT, Fla. — The South Lake Hospital Foundation is looking for gardeners and sponsors to participate in the Fall planting of the hospital’s organic community garden, scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 5:30 p.m. on the hospital’s LiveWell Campus.
During the fall season gardeners are encouraged to plant beets, cabbage, cauliflower, greens, kale, lettuce, spinach and tomatoes.
The South Lake Hospital Community Garden was created as a sustainable community garden where members of the community can come together to grow and harvest nutritious foods. The garden is organic, and no pesticides or harmful chemicals may be used.
Garden boxes for hobby gardeners begin at $25 for a 4’ x 4’ box for the year. Sponsors or gardeners may choose to tend the garden themselves or donate it to a local youth organization. All contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and proceeds will benefit site development and operations of the garden, as well as education workshops and seminars for gardeners.
Current sponsors include:
- Uncle Matt’s Organic
- First Green Bank
- West Orange Lumber
- Mr. and Mrs. Terrence Murphy
- Ms. Jeanne Martel
