The Giving Garden Takes Shape

The Giving Garden at the Nature and Heritage Center at Coogan Farm received a major boost in early June, as both a financial sponsor and a gardening sponsor were officially brought on board.

The Giving Garden is a collaboration among the Nature Center, United Way of Southeastern Connecticut and the Robert G. Youngs Family Foundation that will bring fresh food to thousands of hungry residents of New London County daily.

The first plot in what will eventually be a two-acre garden at the Nature and Heritage Center at Coogan Farm is being worked on by a group of volunteers. In early June, the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Congregation of New London agreed to sign on to tend the plot.
