The City of LaSalle Foundation encourages locals to participate in an enriching community workday for the new Community Garden this Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 9 to 12. Enthusiastic volunteers will contribute by constructing raised beds and enhancing the garden with fresh soil. Whether bringing your tools or using those provided, your participation will plant the seeds for community growth. This initiative will culminate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 22nd, marking the garden’s official opening. It’s a remarkable opportunity to cultivate both plants and community spirit, with everyone invited to lend a hand and help transform this shared space.
“I’ve had this dream for so many years and it’s so gratifying to see it come to fruition,” said community garden Chair and visionary Renee Kim.
“We began the Foundation with ideals: justice, equity, and creating community resilience. The Community Garden is exactly that: it builds local resilience in our food supply while creating community and bringing people together, all within the framework of a project that is designed to be beautiful, inclusive, and welcoming,” said Dani Piland, City of LaSalle Foundation founder.
