Community Garden
As part of Bowdon’s Community Vision, we’ve started a community garden. One of our goals is to provide low-cost, healthy food for our residents. What better way than to grow healthy fruits and vegetables right here in our own town? Anne Patrie took on the task of organizing site selection, plowing, compost spreading, and measuring plots. Vinnie Stoen began raising seedlings early in the spring, and in spite of the unusually cold and dry weather we’ve been having, the gardens are off to a good start. As usual, I’m a little behind everyone else, so tomorrow I plant!
We plan for the community garden to be just the start of good, local foods becoming the cornerstone of a program that keeps us healthy and attracts visitors to see where their food comes from aand how it is grown.
