Garden Party

Garden Party 2020: In Your Own Backyard!

The 6th Annual Garden Party was held June 6-12, 2020 in an online format due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the unusual circumstances the Garden Party was a great success, raising over $2,800 to support Mitchell Habitat's work of providing safe, decent, and affordable housing in the Mitchell Area. Below are the planters that were donated and raffled off to raise funds.

We look forward to our 7th Annual Garden Party in June 2021!

Thank you for supporting Mitchell Regional Habitat for Humanity!
