2018 Service Project
|
On Saturday April 14, members of the Leadership Boise Class of 2019 and the Leadership Boise Academy Class of 2018 will participate in a service project to benefit Global Gardens. Approximately 60 Leadership Boise members will plant trees, shrubs, and seeds; build picnic tables; dig flower beds; and install a French drain at Global Gardens’ Pond Street Farm. The improvement projects will take place in the morning, followed by a joint lunch among the Leadership Boise class, the Leadership Boise Academy class, and staff and participants of Global Gardens.
Global Gardens is a program of the Idaho Office for Refugees. The program works with diverse families in promoting healthy lifestyles and providing entrepreneurial training through cultivating, harvesting, cooking, eating, and selling fresh, healthy produce. Global Gardens started with three community gardens and has grown to nine gardens serving over 200 refugee families. Most families are from east Africa, with others from Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bosnia, Russia and Uzbekistan. |
