This past growing season became a difficult one for the Pulaski Zeralda gardeners, when they learned that a developer had acquired the lot next to the Garden and planned to build an apartment building that would shut out much needed sunlight. This GivingTuesday, you can help secure its future for generations to come.

We're excited to share NGT has secured an opportunity to expand the garden and prevent the real estate developer from putting up a building that would overshadow it. On Tuesday, November 28, we’re asking for support to help us reach the goal of raising $10,000 towards the cost of purchasing the lot. Visit ngtrust.org/givingtuesday. 

NGT worked with the gardeners on a campaign to oppose a zoning variance that the developer needed to move forward with the project. They rallied neighbors in support of the garden who turned out in number at the local zoning meeting. Seeing the level of community opposition to the project, the developer ultimately agreed to sell the lot to NGT. For their resilience and determination, NGT honored the gardeners with a Garden Hero Award at our annual Harvest Celebration this fall.

Help us spread the word by sharing our GivingTuesday campaign with your family, friends, and other networks. Thank you for giving Pulaski Zeralda Community Garden a bright and secure future!
