Community Garden Update

Karla Ambos, coordinator for the City Square Community Garden reported that the garden project is moving ahead rather nicely. The committee is near 35% of their goal to raise the $10,000 necessary to purchase fencing, lumber, seeds, fertilizer, and the many other items needed to make the project a success. More funds are definitely needed and committee members have stated that they will accept and welcome donations in any amount.

Bill Kollar, George Watkins, and Karla’s husband Dieter have already built the first of several raised beds a featured part of the garden and are on schedule to build a couple more next weekend.

The committee has made plans to have the kids that are taking art classes at the museum create some temporary signage to place at each corner of the garden along with some yard art and maybe a sculpture or two.
