Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific County for Greenhouse Repairs
Grays Harbor Community Foundation Awards Grant to Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific County for Greenhouse Repairs
Back in 2025, the Foundation awarded a grant to Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific County to replace an aging structure used as a greenhouse located in the Master Gardeners Demonstration garden at the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds site.
The Elma Demonstration Garden existing greenhouse was installed in 2001 and had aged out of usefulness for plant growing requiring many repairs and maintenance. The new commercial grade 12' x 12' greenhouse on a concrete pad with heat and light enabled the group to increase their grow season and allow for increased vegetable & fruit starts to share with food banks, senior centers & community members.
Rhonda Kennedy commented: “The experienced, kind and easy to work with staff with GHCF are just incredible. You made the idea of applying and writing for a significant grant (significant to the M.G.'s!) seem very do-able. AND it was. From encouraging me, discussing the proposal, offering options and ideas & then giving feedback & continually being positive toward what we hoped to accomplish, the GHCF feels like a friend sharing their knowledge and finances so generously."
Our next Community Building Grant cycle deadline is October 1st at 5PM for awards up to $35,000. For more information contact Senior Program Officer, Jessica Hoover at jessica@gh-cf.org or visit our website at www.gh-cf.org.
