Poison Free and The Prevention Network are pleased to announce installation of The Growing Roots Community Garden at Morado Dwellings in Beaver Falls. Ground allocated by The Housing Authority of the County of Beaver will be broken this Saturday, May 2, at 1:00 pm. Residents of Morado Dwellings may participate in growing over 20 varieties of vegetable crops for themselves in Bio-Dynamic raised beds. No chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides will be used. The garden is to serve as a prototype for future community gardens Poison Free plans to develop in Beaver County.

The Garden will be supervised by Michael McGee, who will also provide hands-on instruction in healthy cooking, composting and other valuable information. McGee, Poison Free’s Environmental Director, holds a B.S. in Environmental Studies from Lesley University, Cambridge MA, and has studied sustainable practices throughout the continental U.S. and Hawaii.

The public is invited to this Saturday’s groundbreaking. Learn more at www.poisonfree.org and www.frontlineinitiative.org
