Garden supplies needed

Hey folks!

I run a community garden at St Mary's Episcopal Church in Abingdon, MD and I'm looking for some donations to help us kickstart our premier season!

If you have any of these items laying around without use and think that you would be willing to part with them for a good cause, I'd love to hear from you. 

Items we're seeking:
- 5-gallon buckets (chem-free preferred)
- shovels and spades
- trowels
- pitchforks
- hoes/spreaders
- pruners
- wheelbarrows
- trash can (in good condition)
- garden cart
- hoses (all lengths, in good condition)
- garden knives
- shears/scissors/snips
- gloves (all sizes, kinds, in good shape)
- watering cans (all sizes, in good shape)
- weed puller
- weeder/cultivator
- lightweight workbench
- hods or baskets
- plant markers (old paint-stirrer rods also acceptable if in good condition)
- garden stool
- garden stakes
- critter repellent (organic)
- rainbarrels (any size, in good condition)
- fencing parts (posts, mesh, etc)
- trellises (posts, twine, hardware)
- support frames for tomatoes

We would also love a donation of chemical-free topsoil/garden soil. Any amount would do--delivery is preferred.

Please shoot me an email and let me know if you have any of the items above. I'd be happy to meet with you for dropoff, or I can pickup within a reasonable distance.

Thanks a ton!
