Donations sought for community garden

St. Mary Parish Chamber of Commerce promotes a concept called Chambers of Health.
“How can we help people eat and live a healthy lifestyle?” is the focus Donna Meyer from St. Mary Parish Chamber of Commerce uses when seeking ways to promote this idea to the residents of St. Mary Parish.
One way this is getting accomplished is through an annual fall garden.
The St. Mary Chamber of Commerce along with the United Methodist Committee on Relief, Hancock Whitney Bank, and Borderline Marketing and Consulting are planting a fall vegetable garden located in Baldwin.
Volunteers from each organization plant and tend the vegetables and once they are ready for harvest they are delivered to senior citizens throughout the parish.
The joined organizations are reaching out to the community for donations of plants to help plant a full fall vegetable garden. To find out how to help with these donations, contact Donna Meyer at 985-384-3830 or Marvin’s Garden at 985-395-5510.
