Gardening by the Bucket

  • Fruit of Labor World Cultural Center 4200 Lake Ridge Drive Raleigh, NC, 27604 United States (map)

Garden Club members and those participating in the Gardening by the Bucket project are asked to come out on Saturday morning, June 5th, at 9am for their first hands on interactive class about growing your own food. The class will be taught & lead by our own UE 150/BWFJ expert gardening enthusiast, Ciscero Warren!When we are finished, your portable “bucket garden” and the raised bed boxes will be planted and you’ll be on the road to providing healthy food for your family and yourself!

Supplies you should bring with you:

·      At least one 5-gallon bucket (food grade – not one that has had gasoline, solvents or cleaning chemicals in them), plastic tubs, lined baskets, ceramic pots, etc. If you must buy one, try places like the Dollar Tree or Home Depot. You may be able to get free buckets from bakeries or delis. 

·      Gardening gloves (if you want to keep dirt in your nails and potential calluses to a minimum)

·      Any special seedlings that you definitely want to plant. Ciscero has started growing seedlings for us especially for these projects, but feel free to bring more or your own.
