Wish List

Wish List updated January 2024

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.

To contact us, please call or email:  

(541) 847-8797 - ShareInJoy@gmail.com

 

Please call before bringing large donations to the garden or to arrange for pick-up - between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm or 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm - (we take a nap every day!)

December 2023: 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 to transport for repairs/maintenance.

Garden Materials/Plants: 

• Metal watering can (with screw-off sprinkler attachment (for cleaning)
• Mud boots: sometimes volunteers don't have mud boots - or they forget to bring them (particularly the college students). We like to keep some on-hand for use in the garden. All sizes welcome. 
  
• Garden Tools
• Foam kneelers (for weeding)
  
• Gloves
  
• Sprinklers/hose attachments - spray nozzles/hose repair parts
  
• Hoses
• Trellises 
  
• tomato/pepper cages
  

Home-made V-8, yum!

Misc:  

• Digital camera: a simple, 'point and shoot' type that can easily slip in a pocket
  
• Cotton towels - dark colors (all sizes)
  
• Clean, plastic or metal buckets 
• Plastic pitchers/scoops
  
• Measuring cups (melamine plastic - best)
  
• Trays: plastic or metal - (all sizes)
  
• Festive garden banners (like people put on flagpoles by their front doors) with garden/nature theme.
  
• Canning jars/lids - all sizes and other canning materials  
  
• Food dehydrators/Food processors
• Tarps
  

• Carpet: indoor/outdoor (or low-pile); dark colors best. 
• Picnic table

• Passive solar water heater
• Plastic water-barrels (food grade)

• Tree saplings/plant starts: particularly native or edible species. 
• Bamboo poles: All sizes needed but particularly prefer long and sturdy.
• Firewood
  
• Leaves, grass clippings: Here's a link describing how we use them in the gardens to increase fertility: LINK

• Surplus organically grown fruits, vegetables and nuts (we'll pass along whatever we can't use to Food Pantries).
