Volunteers, Supplies Needed For Shannon Collins Memorial Garden

SAN JOSE, Calif.—LELO employees and community volunteers will again be working in the Shannon Collins Memorial Garden this weekend.

On Saturday, April 5, work will begin on the Veggie Patch. Volunteers will work together to create a pallet garden: a sustainable, eco-friendly, and fun gardening style, where they will plant herbs, lettuce, and strawberries within wooden pallets.
To make the project possible, LELO officials are asking for donations of the following: Wooden pallets (untreated wood only), bags of potting soil, herb seedlings (any and all herbs), lettuce seedlings, strawberry seedlings and watering cans.

Donations can be dropped off any time at the Walnut Avenue Women's Center, or brought with you on April 5.

In addition to the needed donation items, volunteers attending Saturday are asked to bring staple guns and staples, electric saws, hand-held saws, scissors and hammers and nails.

Volunteers are asked to reply on the Shannon Collins Memorial Garden Facebook page to let LELO officials know what you can contribute.

Please join volunteers Saturday, April 5, anytime between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center, located at 303 Walnut Avenue in Santa Cruz, Calif.
