We will be building raised planters to increase the capacity of our Food Pantry Garden which supplies fresh produce to families needing food assistance in our neighborhood. The raised planters allow participation by those who would find traditional farming inaccessible. Up to 6 adults with comfort/competence with woodworking hand tools, preferably with own tools. We will be: Assembling planters: screwdrivers, rechargeable drills, rubber mallets. Painting non-toxic finish: brushes, trays, Hopefully: Repurposing shipping pallets into vertical wall planters: Claw hammers, small cross cut saws, rechargeable drills. Planting: will require lifting of soil.
