Earlier this month, we had our first visit from local Kroger associates to the Lewis Ginter Community Kitchen Garden. Led by Shawn Embrose, the team mulched pathways, weeded, tested soaker hoses and planted tomatoes and eggplant.

The Community Kitchen Garden is almost fully planted for the summer!

Shawn will be leading another Kroger team at the Community Kitchen Garden on June 13.

Thanks to Shawn & her Kroger Cares associates for their hard work and to Stacie Cornett in the Garden’s development department for building our relationship with Kroger.

The Kroger associates worked as a tight unit on each task.
