Vote for our fruit trees grant
Tucker Civic Association is partnering with Henderson Park Community Garden and DeKalb Parks and Recreation to apply for a grant for fruit trees and bushes in the newly expanded Henderson Park, and we need your support. At Henderson Park, where a community garden is planned, an arbor of 11 indigenous fruit trees and 30 blueberry bushes will be a wonderful buffer along Henderson Road. Some of each harvest will be donated to an area food bank. The grant application is part of a national competition sponsored by Edy's Fruit Bars and the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. This project, called Communities Take Root, provides fresh fruit orchards for dozens of communities. Some 150 grant applications have come from across the country. Winners will be determined by votes over the internet. Please vote for our project by visiting the website: www. communitiestakeroot.com. Every individual is entitled to vote once a day. If you have four family members, you can enter four votes a day until the contest ends in August.
