The Rotary Club of Sedona Village has reached the one year mark since the idea was approved. Since then, we've built 24 raised beds, spread wood chips on many of the walkways and contributed over 250 pounds of vegetables to the Sedona Food Bank and over 50 pounds to the Sedona Oak Creek Unified School District.
The Community Garden is located at Big Park Community School on the baseball diamond on the north playground. This diamond, known as Doug Colletti’s Field of Dreams, is now a Field of Greens. Working with our location partner, the Sedona Oak-Creek Unified School District, we have created an opportunity to provide a community service that strengthens health, nature, life skills, and creates an atmosphere of cooperation and togetherness.
Richardson Wright said, “a garden is a public service and having one a public duty. It is a man’s contribution to the community.” The Rotary Club of Sedona Village is committed to an ongoing contribution to the community through this garden project.
