June 16, 2023: Lynchburg Grows is the 2023 Recipient of the Greater Lynchburg Foundation Century Fund!

We are so honored to be this year’s recipient of the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation’s Century Fund. You can check out their work at this link. This generous grant of $100,000 will help us toward finishing the renovation of our historic shed. The newly renovated shed will enable us to teach nutrition classes, host workshops, and create space for students to experiment in the kitchen with veggies they harvested from the farm. Thank you @greater_lynchburg for believing in our work in such a big way!

William and Mary students volunteer at Lynchburg Grows for Alternative Spring Break

 

This week we were thrilled to host student-volunteer groups from William and Mary for Alternative Spring Break. With their help, we accomplished so much:

  • weeded rose beds, covered beds with cardboard (to help prevent weeds) and filled with mulch

  • major weeding in between greenhouses (basically small trees!)

  • replaced cooling pads in Greenhouse1

  • potted perennials for upcoming plant sale

  • organized tools

  • cleared our Greenhouse 9 —a huge project!

Big thanks to the school and students for making it happen!
