Lewes Public Library’s young environmentalist club, Roots & Shoots, now has a plot at the Lewes Community Garden.
Participating teenagers will get firsthand training and experience working with some of the community’s best master gardeners, learning how to develop and maintain a successful organic produce garden.
One of the Lewes Community Garden’s main objectives is to harvest organic crops to donate to local food banks and pantries in the Lewes/Rehoboth area.
Teen Services Librarian Emily Ellinger said, “When I learned of what the Lewes Community Garden was doing, I knew Roots & Shoots had to get involved.”
