Planting begins this season in our very own Community\/Children’s Learning Garden!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be growing areas for raised beds and in-ground crops and fruit trees and berry bushes and pollinator-loving flowers and herbs \u2013a veritable food forest…evolving and growing over time with many inviting spaces and places planned for discovery and connecting with nature and each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE VISION: We have many ideas for fun events, activities and gatherings at the garden and are excited about the myriad possibilities this will bring to our children and our community as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE! There are many ways for every person, young and old, to contribute and benefit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come grow with us! \ud83c\udf1e\ud83c\udf31LeAnn Brown, Project Initiator\/Committee Chair <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPONSORS AND DONATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are looking to our community and area businesses for support in bringing this project to fruition. We have raised funds for initial stages, but are still in need of funding and material\/labor donations for a 20’x40′ solar-powered greenhouse building for year round growing and learning, a 30′ diameter amphitheater (looking for a company to sponsor\/donate stone slabs for seating) and various other supplies and help needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
