Wish List

Wish List updated August, 2022

One of the goals of the "Sharing Gardens" project is to demonstrate how materials that might otherwise be headed for the burn-pile or landfill can be "re-purposed" and find new life serving those in need in our community. 

 

Here are various items and services we could use and, if we can't use them, there's a good chance we can pass them along to someone else who can.

All donations are tax-deductible; ask us for a receipt. See contact info below...

 

August 2022: We have a strong wish for a utility trailer; something sturdy enough to haul leaves or wood; and low enough to the ground to drive our large gardening equipment on board, on ramps, to transport for repairs/maintenance.

Garden Materials/Plants: 

• Metal watering can  
• Mud boots: some of our volunteers are low-income and can't afford mud boots. We will keep them on-hand for use in the garden. All sizes welcome.  
• Tree saplings/plant starts: particularly native or edible species. 
• Bamboo poles: All sizes needed but particularly prefer long and sturdy.
• Leaves, grass clippings: Here's a link describing how we use them in the gardens to increase fertility: LINK
  
• Garden Tools
• Hoses
• Gloves 
• tomato/pepper cages
  

Home-made V-8, yum!

Building Materials:

• Lumber/plywood - all dimensions
• Old barn or fence wood
• Hinges/hardware/screws/nails etc. 

Misc:  

• Plastic water-barrels (food grade) 
• Clean, plastic or metal buckets 
• Picnic table
• Canning jars/lids - all sizes and other canning materials
  
• Tarps
• Cash donations are always appreciated 
• Firewood 
• Carpet: indoor/outdoor (or low-pile); dark colors best. 
• Trellises 
• Food dehydrators
• Refrigerator
• Passive solar water heater
• Surplus organically grown fruits, vegetables and nuts (we'll pass along whatever we can't use to Food Pantries).
• Festive garden banners (like people put on flagpoles by their front doors) with garden/nature theme.
  

Office Supplies:

• Colored card-stock/copy paper:  for printing biz-cards/fliers 
• Small bookshelf - 4' tall by 3'-4' wide
  

Services:

• Small engine-repair.

Other: 

Heavy-duty plastic bags (such as those that pellets for wood stoves, or potting mix and soil-amendments come in). We use these to store the worm-compost we scoop up from our greenhouse paths. Must be solid plastic (not woven) and no pet-food bags as these attract rodents who chew holes in the bags causing the compost to dry out and spill out.
