When you reap more than you can eat, share, can, or freeze...

When your green thumb garners more produce than you can handle, bring it here to Woodbridge Greenhouses. We are inspired by a public service program called "Plant a Row for the Hungry". Woodbridge Greenhouse will collect donations of extra produce and deliver it to the Trinity Episcopal Church Food Closet*.
"Plant a Row for the Hungry" was created in 1995 by the Garden Writers Association and the GWA Foundation. Garden writers are asked to encourage their readers and/or listeners to plant an extra row of produce each year and donate their surplus to local food banks, soup kitchens and service organizations to help feed America's hungry.
*The Trinity Food Closet is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11am and is located at 251 Danielson Pike in Scituate. This pantry provides food to between 30 and 70 families each month. With the economic situation stagnant, and school lunch programs unavailable until September, the need for food is great.
Woodbridge is open every day from 9 to 5 to accept donations. We hope you will share your bounty with those in need.
