Wheaton Garden Club Makes Donation to We Grow Dreams

Marty Warwick and Nancy Hensley of the Wheaton Garden Club present a check to Gregg Bettcher, Executive Director of We Grow Dreams, as part of the club’s philanthropic giving.

We Grow Dreams is a nursery and greenhouse that has been providing job training and employment to young adults with disabilities for over sixteen years. Our donation  is being used to replace raised garden beds that are used to grow vegetables for low income local families. Additionally, their Retail Center was painted and had structural repairs made with the assistance of our donation. We were pleased to be advised that our donation was part of a matching fund campaign also!
