Thank You Zions Bank's Smart Women Smart Money Grant

Thank You Zions Bank's Smart Women Smart Money Grant!  Yesterday at four PM I received a call from Zions Bank telling me that Harmony Garden has been awarded $3,000 for our Tuff shed, lock for shed, and tools for the shed!  I was in shock, but when I got of the phone I was hit with what had happened, Thank you Zions for your generosity!

The Copper Garden in Magna

Here  we are digging again and having loads of fun, but we're doing it at a Salt Lake County Community Garden in Magna called Copper Garden!  Here are the pictures of the dedicated volunteers digging to help another community.

Thank you volunteers for all your hard work!  The garden is really looking great!  We are a little behind schedule, but we'll hopefully catch-up next week!

The garden with all the volunteers and tenants working together.


Tomorrow we will be finishing path digging and laying down cardboard and mulch to become a weed barrier.

Me holding string so those digging this path would know what to do.

Thank you all for Coming and Helping the Garden tenants with there garden beds!

Thank you Do Something!!!

Thank you Do Something's Summer Jobless Grants for you generous donation of $500 which will pay for the mulch in the path ways to block weeds from growing.  But, we need to have 25 youth volunteers to help us receive the grant money.  On Saturday the 13th and Saturday the 20th we will be helping finish pathways and set a fence and install drips.  The address is 3700 South Main St in the south-west corner of Harmony Park behind the baseball field. 

Thanks Again Do Something!
