We’re thrilled to share that we received a $5000 local operating grant from USA TODAY NETWORK’s A Community Thrives initiative! A Community Thrives, which is part of the Gannett Foundation, supports non-profit organizations like ours with projects focused on community building. This grant will go to support the construction of a visitor center and restroom facility. This grant combined with the challenge campaign brings us to a total of $12000 for the project. We are optimistic the facility will be operational by opening date next April.
This summer has been a gardener’s dream with more than ample rain during the entire growing season. The Garden is flourishing with only a few exceptions of too much water. We are currently constructing a perennial garden, refreshing existing flower beds and identifying new areas for planting . Feel free to visit the garden and mark your calendar for our official opening scheduled for April 22nd of next year. We look forward to seeing you soon!
