Materials to build raised bed garden for local Daphne youth club

We have been asked to assist with the building of an organic raised bed garden for a local youth camp in Daphne. The goal is to teach the young children ages 5-12 how to plant and maintain a garden in order to make good nutritional choices. Materials needed are wood, sand, gravel and organic soil mix to establish three 4 x 8 raised beds. The children will learn to nurture the fruit and vegetable growth year around and be able to take them home to their families. What a wonderful gift for the children to learn the skill of healthy gardening at such a young age! Estimated cost of materials is $400 and any donations would be greatly appreciated. Just click "I Can Help" to contribute.
