Are you interested in growing your own vegetables this season? Stop by DCH and pick up seeds provided by Delaware First Health to get a start on planting. We have beans, cilantro, radish, cucumber, spinach, and squash seeds available while supplies last.

We'll also be planting some of these seeds at the E.D. Robinson Urban Farm and using them in our youth educational programs. Happy growing!

We're so glad we could help out! We can't wait to see the end result of the planting project 🙂

What a great idea I will stop in today, putting in garden boxes for anyone to pick from!

Our Wednesday Garden Volunteers help us take care of the garden at DCH. This project had volunteers planting 150 Aster divaricatus (White Wood Aster) on the hillside in the DCH parking lot.

These flowers will add beauty to the parking lot for arriving guests and add support to local pollinators too. Once these Asters fully mature, they’ll also stabilize the hillside from erosion.

These landscape plugs are from Northcreek Nursery through an award from the Delaware Nature Society and Delmarva Power Sustainable Communities Program.

If you’d like to volunteer, visit the link in our bio!

Today we planted carrots, beans, and cucumbers in the raised beds in the back DCH garden. The Delaware River Climate Corps (DRCC) team determined the placement and depth of each seed to make the most pic this raised bed. This season we’re looking forward to watching these vegetables grow and to the day we can harvest them.
