Do You Like to Garden?

The Lakewood Parks and Recreation Department is developing a community garden program and is seeking volunteers from local residents.

The City of Lakewood, along with several community partners, are looking for a leadership team to help develop a community garden program.

Please contact the Lakewood Parks and Recreation Department at 253-983-7887 if you are passionate about gardening and willing to help them develop the program. They are not starting from scratch and have a great program model in place, according to the recreation department.

The city's theme is to start small, be organized, be successful and then grow the program. A portion of the garden will be used to grow food for local food banks. Help the city get started on this and remember it's not just about growing a garden. It's about growing a community garden.
