The Derby Library Garden will be getting ready for the new season soon!  On May 11, 2019 at 1:30 PM, Valley United Way staff and community volunteers will be preparing the garden with new vegetables, fruits, and herbs! After a fun filled time, enjoy delicious and creamy ice-cream!

The Grow Your Own Garden Program was created in 2015, by the Valley United Way, to give lower-income families access to fresh produce. This garden season there will be 13 gardens in all 5 Valley towns; Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton! All fresh produce grown from the gardens are free, for the neighbors to harvest and enjoy. The gardens assist a wide range of communities of families, children, elders and disabled.

If interested in volunteering, contact the Valley United Way office at (203)926-9478 or email valleyunitedway@valleyunitedway.org with your name and interests in the gardens.
