Burlap bags a great help to garden effort

In the past two years, Paramount Coffee has played a pivotal role in the success of the Ingham County Land Bank's Garden Program.
Thanks to the wonderful staff at Paramount, the Land Bank has been able to acquire several donations from the local coffee company in the form of burlap bags.
The burlap bags are used at the various gardens throughout the city of Lansing.
Burlap is permeable and biodegradable making it very useful to a variety of garden projects. It helps to maintain weed control and is very useful when developing pathways around gardens. This year alone, Paramount Coffee was able to help the Land Bank in acquiring 3,000 burlap bags that helped better serve over 30 gardens throughout Lansing - so for that, we thank you.
