Who We Are

The Garden Group is a University of Tennessee student-lead group project that is working to raise money to provide the materials needed for a community garden in Cleveland, TN. We were approached by Impact Cleveland, a non-profit organization in Cleveland, Tennessee, who told us that the residents of the south side of Cleveland truly need a garden that will bring them together. The need for restoration within the community has made us passionate about reaching out and helping Impact Cleveland create this place of peace and community for the residents. Moreover, the residents will be able to provide locally grown food to those in need. 

Our Goal

We are working towards raising $2,000 so that Impact Cleveland can begin working on the garden.  These funds will help to cover costs that are necessary for the creation of the garden, costs like fencing, tools, and raised garden beds.  All the money we obtain will be given directly to Impact Cleveland to create the garden.  With your help, this campaign will be a huge success!  If the Garden Group is able to reach its $2000 goal, there will be enough funds to be able to decorate the garden with picnic tables, a gazebo, raised flowerbeds, and personalized stepping stones. 

Perks

Since we want all of the funds raised to go toward the creation of this garden, we opted to forgo physical perks for most of the perks provided. However, for especially generous donors, we will engrave your name on stepping stones, dedicate an entire garden bed to you, and if you're inspired enough to fund the whole thing yourself, and we'll even name the entire garden after you!

Importance

By reaching out a helping hand, this community garden can come to life for the people of Cleveland.  This garden will stand as a symbol of hope and progress for the residents of this community.  Your money will be put to good use by offering the citizens of Cleveland a chance to grow as a community and be a part of something that benefits a multitude of people.  We are working hard to promote our campaign and ask for your help along the way.  Together we can succeed and make this possible for the citizens of Cleveland!

What Else You Can Do

We understand that donating is not an option for everyone but that doesn’t mean we still can’t use your help!  Any type of recognition or explanation as to what we are doing will help us to spread the word and get our message across.  We ask you to inform friends, family, neighbors, even the mail carrier about this project!  Influence your community to help another community in need.  Only your donations can make this project come to life. 

----------------------------------------------------

We are looking forward to what we can accomplish within the next month!  Remember to follow us on Facebook here and on Twitter at @UTKGardenGroup. The Garden Group thanks you in advance for your support!
