Community Garden Approval!
Just a quick note to let all of you know that we have been given the approval to start a community garden for the residents of the Swede Haven in Stromsburg this spring!
I am meeting with Cindy Naber, the Executive Director, to discuss the physical location of the garden on Thursday of this week. I hope to hold a meeting with the residents of Swede Haven in the near future to discuss what sorts of vegetables and flowers they would like to have grown in the garden. It is exciting to begin this new mission and I look forward to building many new friendships along the way. Having a garden at Swede Haven should provide us many opportunities to build community over the summer, as well as enjoy some terrific vegetables!
I have also spoken with the Activities Director at Midwest Covenant Home in Stromsburg about volunteering to work with the raised beds and container gardens to create a therapeutic horticultural environment for the residents there. We will be having more conversations in the coming weeks to bring more clarity about how we can be of service to resident of MWCH.
