10% of all sales from Patxi’s Livermore location will go to Fertile GroundWorks. The fundraiser includes takeout/delivery orders as well as dine-in sales, so this is the perfect excuse to treat your family and colleagues to pizza! Along the way, you’ll be helping us run local educational gardens and grow nutritious food for those in need in our community.
Executive Director, Bruce Campbell, is very grateful for all of those who support the Garden of Grace and it’s mission to teach, grow, and give.
Need a little good news these days? Well, it turns out 2016 was a record-breaking year for Fertile Groundworks! We were able to grow more than 20,000 pounds of organic food for those in need while teaching people hands-on how to grow healthy food for themselves. Here’s a graph that shows our running total of produce harvested since Fertile Groundworks started in 2011:
Our recent plant sale orders were also up, breaking last year’s record.
As always, we thank you for your support, which allows us to make Fertile Groundworks’ gardens the wonderful places they are.
