ElderAct Club Grows Organic Vegetables for Low Income Seniors

The ElderAct Club of Marblehead/Swampscott has been busy the past two years planting, growing and harvesting organic vegetables. The Marblehead Community garden is a project of the Elderact of M/S sponsored by the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor and the Town of Marblehead Parks and Recreation Department. Volunteers provide the materials and labor throughout the growing season. Harvesting and delivery of vegetables happens twice a week through out the season. The club has provided over 100 pounds of various vegetables to each elderly housing project in Marblehead in the past year.
