Apple Tote Garden Bins at Thornton

[Megan Viszlai]

Hello F2SBC Vancouver Region Network,

I wanted to pass along an opportunity from Jeanne Lefebvre with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Please reach out to her directly for any follow-up questions or information, she is based out of Thornton on a weekly basis:

"I’m reaching out because the 15 garden beds (repurposed wooden apple totes) that we started a few years ago at Thornton, unfortunately, have been turned into homes for the local rodents. They have also chewed up the plastic liner we put in to keep the paint separate from the soil. The little plastic bits are throughout the soil, sadly. I am hoping to find a good home for them, someone who is willing and capable of sifting/sorting through the soil and reusing them – maybe a school?"

Have a great weekend!
