Changing the View

Our first meeting of September was held in our own community garden.  Heather shared its past, present and future.  Most importantly, we reviewed that this isn’t your typical community garden.  This garden allows non-Rotarians to participate and gives back to our fellow citizens and schools through organic produce donations.  The Director of Manzanita Outreach (our Happy Bucks recipient for September) estimated that our donations are worth at least $3.66 per pound.  Our 483 pounds donated last year were worth $1,767.78!

 

The community garden is currently OUR main service project for OUR club. Whether you enjoy being in the garden, want to take pictures of the beauty, help move wood chips and pull weeds, or simply tell others about it, it’s ours to share. The more people know about it, the more our action is evident. Feel free to visit anytime or contact Heather to get involved. We continue to nurture the community through our garden.
