An Easy Way to Support Community Gardens

partner

Yesterday, the first day of Summer, also marked the start of Giving Through Growing, a partnership between Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi and the American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) to support the development of community gardens throughout the U.S.

The program, which runs through the end of the year, allows you to send "e-seeds" to friends and family, and for every seed sent, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi will donate $1 to the ACGA to a total of $40,000. The funds will be used to create garden education seminars in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, helping to further the growing community garden movement.

To send "e-seeds" and to learn more about the Giving Through Growing program and the ACGA, go to woodbridgewines.com/garden.
