Penelope's Giving Garden
Penelope's Giving Garden was the first of two gardens Verdura created this year in partnership with Birch Community Services, a local nonprofit that feeds the working poor. Thanks to the generosity of Penelope's family, we were able to build a total of 15 raised beds this spring and summer, from which up to 70 lbs. of organic produce is being harvested each week to help feed program participants.
