Community Shows Support for Community Garden
Well, all the plots in the Community Garden have been rented. In fact, we had to add more space to the shared space in the garden. We have a wide diveristy of participants: coworkers, friends, a 4-H club, apartment dwellers, retired farm couple. We have secured several resources for the garden. Waukon Implement is donating the use of a riding lawn mower for lawn upkeep. Pioneer Hybrid seed dealer donated the sweet corn seed. The landowner paid for part of the tiller gas. The people who have plots are really starting to bond as well. Often you can see them sitting in the shade visiting once the work is done!
