今年春天,Timberland员工开始了11个Th该品牌的全球总部位于新罕布什尔州斯特拉瑟姆的全球总部。每年,数十名员工志愿者都会穿上靴子,然后戴上园艺手套,以种植,杂草,水和收获建筑物前入口外种植的许多蔬菜和水果。今年的农作物包括西红柿,覆盆子,西葫芦,夏季南瓜,山豆,黄瓜,胡椒,花朵,萝卜,茄子,胡萝卜和洋葱。除蔬菜床外,前停车场的中心岛还种植了果树和灌木,包括苹果,梨,桃子,李子和蓝莓。

After a slow and bumpy start (several groundhogs have discovered the garden beds this year and decided they want to share in the offerings!) the facilities crew installed some much-needed fencing to keep the critters at bay. Initial harvests have started coming in, with cucumbers the bumper crop this year. The New England weather typically dictates what will thrive, and this year’s conditions seem to be optimal for cucumbers. We’ve had enough rain to keep the soil consistently moist between watering, which is what cucumbers like best.

Timberland志愿者每天通过浇水和除草床。他们每周都会收获星期一,星期三和周五的水果和蔬菜。然后,建筑物中的员工购买新鲜农产品以捐赠现金,通常比当地的杂货店或农场摊位要少的钱。所有胜利花园捐赠支持NH食品银行这是新罕布什尔州唯一的食品银行,向全州的425个非营利组织分配食品。

胜利花园始于2008年,由雇员志愿者建造的一些高架木制床组成,在Stratham总部的前草坪上。花园很快就将扎根作为一个年度计划,每个生长季节都吸引数十名员工。该品牌在2015年用专业建造的石材床取代了木制床,以确保花园本身的持久,并承诺通过花园的收益来支持社区。188bet网址怎么打不开多年来,胜利花园已产生了超过20,000美元的捐款。

Employees who tend the garden, typically for about 1 hour per week, count the time as part of their Path of ServiceTM小时,一项员工福利计划,现在已有26个Th一年,这为员工提供了每年最多40个付费社区服务时间。188bet网址怎么打不开在Timberland Victory Garden中学到的技能上,许多员工在家中创建了自己的花园。
