🌱Garden Boxes are back, and they’re going fast🌱

These beauties are made by local volunteers! Hand-crafted, solid wood garden boxes are available in two sizes:
• Medium 4 ft box – $45
• Large 6 ft box – $65

Built by community, for community, with proceeds supporting programs and services right here across Peterborough City and County.

A very special thank you to our friends @chemonghhbc for generously providing the materials to make this project possible.

Spring has already sprung, and quantities are limited, so if you’ve been thinking about growing your own veggies, herbs, or flowers this season, now’s the time to jump in!

👉 Reserve yours today by emailing: dayofcaring@uwpeterborough.ca, or send us a DM for further details!
